The Molecule of Sodium Formate along with Formal Charges (in blue) and lone pair electrons (in red) is attached below.
Sodium Formate is an ionic compound made up of a positive part (Sodium Ion) and a polyatomic anion (Formate).
Nomenclature:
In ionic compounds the positive part is named first. As sodium ion is the positive part hence, it is named first followed by the negative part i.e. formate.
Name of Formate:
Formate ion has been derived from formic acid ( the simplest carboxylic acid). When carboxylic acids looses the acidic proton of -COOH, they are converted into Carboxylate ions.
E.g.
HCOOH (formic acid) → HCOO⁻ (formate) + H⁺
H₃CCOOH (acetic acid) → H₃CCOO⁻ (acetate) + H⁺
Formal Charges:
Formal charges are calculated using following formula,
F.C = [# of Valence e⁻] - [e⁻ in lone pairs + 1/2 # of bonding electrons]
For Oxygen:
F.C = [6] - [6 + 2/2]
F.C = [6] - [6 + 1]
F.C = 6 - 7
F.C = -1
For Sodium:
F.C = [1] - [0 + 0/2]
F.C = [1] - [0]
F.C = 1 - 0
F.C = +1
mass defect = mass of constituents - mass of atom
N has 7p and 9n
proton mass ~ 1.00728 amu
neutron mass ~ 1.00866 amu
electron mass ~ 0.000549 amu
Nitrogen mass ~ 14.003074 amu
mass defect = (7*1.00728)-(7*1.00866)-(7*0.000549)
- 14.003074
= 0.11235amu
convert to energy, the binding energy = 1.68x10^-11 J
B. do the experiment more than once
Explanation:
To do a multiple trials of an experiment, it is best to do the experiment more than once.
Experimental trials are mere replication of the procedures in an experiment.
- Most hypothesis on which experiments are based must be repeatable.
- When experiments are repeated through several trials, their accuracy is increased.
- Multiple trials clearly makes it easy to make meaningful deductions from an experimental process.

Answer:
According to the scientists, evidence of an underground ocean suggests that Enceladus is one of the most likely places in the solar system to "host microbial life". Emissions of water vapor have been detected from several regions of the dwarf planet Ceres.
