The reason that some of the elements of period three and beyond are steady in spite of not sticking to the octet rule is due to the fact of possessing the tendency of forming large size, and a tendency of making more than four bonds. For example, sulfur, it belongs to period 3 and is big enough to hold six fluorine atoms as can be seen in the molecule SF₆, while the second period of an element like nitrogen may not be big to comprise 6 fluorine atoms.
The existence of unoccupied d orbitals are accessible for bonding for period 3 elements and beyond, the size plays a prime function than the tendency to produce more bonds. Hence, the suggestion of the second friend is correct.
The answer is c. number of protons and d. atomic number. The proton number can identify an element. And also the atomic number is equal to the number of protons.
Answer:
CH2O
Explanation:
Firstly, we need to convert the masses of the elements to percentage compositions. This can be done by placing the mass of each element over the total mass multiplied by 100% . We can start with carbon.
C = 5.692/14.229 * 100 = 40%
O = 7.582/14.229 * 100 = 53.29%
H = 0.955/14.229 * 100 = 6.71%
We then proceed to divide each percentage composition by their atomic mass of 12, 16 and 1 respectively.
C = 40/12 = 3.333
O = 53.29/16 = 3.33
H = 6.71/2 = 6.71
Dividing by the smaller value which is 3.33
C = 3.33/3.33 = 1
O = 3.33/3.33= 1
H = 6.71/3.33 = 2
The empirical formula of the compound ribose is CH2O
Answer:
Carbon or the symbol C has a mass percentage of 42.880% while Oxygen or symbol O has a mass percentage of 57.120%
