An electron carries a negative power to the atom. in each atom, the amount of protons and electrons are usually evened out so the atom is stable. the electrons of an atom are also found on the outside ring of an atom, unlike protons and neutrons, which are inside the atom. glad to help! :)
We find the weight of the empirical formula:
12.0107 + 2 x 1.00794 + 15.9994
= 30.03
Now, we divide the molecular weight by the weight of the empirical formula to find the number of times the empirical formula repeats:
90.09 / 30.03
= 3
The formula is 3(CH₂O)
C₃H₆O₃
