In order to obtain the empirical formula, first divide each element by its molar mass which can be found in the periodic table. The answer in the first step would be the number of moles of each element. Then divide each element with the lowest number of moles obtained in the first step in this case Phosphorus had the lowest number of moles. Then round it up to the nearest whole number. The empirical formula then is Phosphorus pentafluoride or PF5.

Correct answer: has a completely filled outermost shell

Atoms of the element with complete outermost shells are stable. So, in order to attain stability the atom either loses electrons or gains electrons to completely fill the outermost shell. The stable electronic configuration for the s and p-block elements is exhibited by the noble gases or the group 8 elements. All the unstable atoms try to attain the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas with completely filled outermost shell.

What does electronegativity measure
Rainbow [258]
Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract shared electrons to itself. On the periodic table, electronegativity generally increases as you move from left to right across a period and decreases as you move down a group.

Use the periodic table in the tools bar to answer these questions. How many moles of AgNO3 are present in 1.50 L of a 0.050 M so
IgorC [24]
M= moles de soluto / litros de solucion 
moles de soluto = M. litros de solucion 

Moles de soluto = 0.050 M x 1.50 L = 0.075 moles de AgNo3
