The relation between the elements electro negativity, atomic radius, and ionization energy levels.
Answer:
the empirical (lowest raios) is
C2H4Cl
Explanation:
A compound is known to consist solely of carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine. Through elemental analysis, it was determined that the compound is composed of 24.27% carbon.
What is the empirical formula of this compound?
the compound has ONLY C, H, and Cl
the % Cl = 100% - 24.27% -4.03% = 71.7%
in 100 gm, there are 71.7 gm Cl, 24.27 gm C, and 4.03 gm H
the number of moles are Cl=71.7/70.91 =1.01= ~ 1
C = 24.27/12.0 = 2.02 =~ 2
H = 403/1.01 = 3.97 =~ 4
so the empirical (lowest raios) is
C2H4Cl
They have the same number of electrons in their outer shells. Elements in the same group often share similar chemical properties because the outer electrons generally determine a lot of their properties
