Answer:
Na₂₆F₁₁
Explanation:
We find the moles of the substance assuming 100 g of the substance is present. Why do we take 100 g? Because then the percent of sodium/fluorine, would be the g of sodium/fluorine respectively:
74.186 g Sodium | 1 mol Sodium/23 g => 3.2255 mol Na
25.814 g Fluorine | 1 mol Fluorine/19 g => 1.3586 mol F
Divide each by smallest number of moles:
3.2255/1.3586 = 2.37
1.3586/1.3586 = 1
Multiply by common number to get a smallest whole number:
2.37*11 = 26,
1*11 = 11
The empirical formula is Na₂₆F₁₁
Option 2, Br. I'll go over why all other three options are incorrect.
Option 1 - Krypton is a Noble gas, and so it doesn't need to accept electrons since it has an octet.
Option 3 and 4 - Both Calcium and Barium are alkaline earth metals, and give away electrons, since they only have 2.
-T.B.

B
A mixture can be separated by a physical means because there is no chemical bond between the constituents
D) Silicon is an example of a metalloid.
It has some of the properties of metals and some of the properties of nonmetals.
In the Periodic Table, metalloids sit on either side of a zig-zag line separating metals from nonmetals.
In the diagram below, Fe and Au are metals, while He is a nonmetal.
