The empirical formula gives the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in the compound. Molecular formula gives the actual composition of elements in the compound.
empirical formula - CH₂O
Mass of one empirical unit = 12 + (1x2) + 16 = 30 a.m.u
We have to next calculate how many empirical units make up the molecular formula. For that we have to divide molecular mass by mass of one empirical unit.
Number of empirical units = 180 a.m.u / 30 = 6
There are 6 empirical units 
Therefore molecular formula = 6 x(CH₂O) = C₆H₁₂O₆
Molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆

AveGali [126]

Given

Mass of NO - 824 g

Molar mass of NO - 30.01g/mol

No of moles of NO = Given mass/Molar mass

No of moles of NO = 824/30.01= 27.45 mole

Hence 27.5 moles of NO are formed!

Cycloheptatrienone is stable, but cyclopentadienone is so reactive that it can't be isolated. Taking into account the polarity o
Lorico [155]

Answer and Explanation:

The resonance contributor in cyclopentadienone (as shown in the attachment below) results into the compound having a positive charge on the carbonyl group, C=O which accounts for a highly reactive anti-aromatic 4π system. And this illustrates the reason for its instability.

Compare the trends for atomic size and first ionization energy.
bazaltina [42]

Explanation:

On a periodic table, the atomic size is depicted by the radius of the atom.

Across a period, the atomic radius reduces progressively from left to right.

Down the group from top to bottom, atomic radii increases progressively.

For the ionization energy, from left to right, across the period, it increases progressively and down a group it reduces.

These two trends are related in that as the atomic radius decreases across the period there is an increasing nuclear charge which is not compensated for by the the successive shells of electrons being added. This also similar down the group.
