<span>It describes the true ratio of atoms in a formula unit. An empirical formula is a formula that gives the proportions of the elements present in a certain compound however it does not give the actual numbers or the arrangement of the atoms.</span>

<h3><u>Answer and explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Empirical formulas, are the simplest types of chemical formulas that indicate the ratio of each element in the molecule.
  • <em><u>The empirical formula shows or describes the simplest whole number ratio of all the atoms present in a molecule.</u></em>
  • <em><u>For example the empirical formula of glucose is CH2O</u></em>,while the molecular formula is C6H12O6.
  • Empirical formula is converted to molecular formula by multiplying it with a whole number.

Answer:

12 Neutrons

1 Valence Electron

23 ions [11 Protons and 12 Neutrons]

22 ions [11 Electrons and Protons]

Explanation:

To find the number of neutrons in an element, you simply take its atomic number and deduct that from the atomic mass [<em>round</em><em> </em>if necessary]. There is one <em>valence </em><em>electron</em><em> </em>because<em> </em>according to the Periodic Table of Elements, the first three energy levels can fit 2 - 8 electrons:

1st Energy Level → 2 Electrons

2nd Energy Level → 8 Electrons

3rd Energy Level → 8 Electrons

4th Energy Level → 18 Electrons

5th Energy Level → 18 Electrons

6th Energy Level [Lanthanide Series] → 32 Electrons

7th Energy Level [Actinide Series] → 32 Electrons

So, as you can see, 2 + 8 gives you 10. So from there, we already filled up 2 energy levels. Now going to the third one will leave us with only one electron left over. That is where that valence electron is.

** I encourage you to write this down in your Chemistry notebook somewhere, so you can keep this stored in your memory at all times. There are some pointers in the answer as well. Copy that.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
