To determine the empirical formula of the compound given, we need to determine the ratio of each element in the compound. To do that we assume to have 100 grams sample of the compound with the given composition. Then, we calculate for the number of moles of each element. We do as follows:<span>
         mass        moles
C       56.79        4.73
H       6.56          6.50
O       28.37        1.77
N      8.28           0.59

Dividing the number of moles of each element with the smallest value, we will have the empirical formula:

</span>         moles                 ratio
C       4.73     / 0.59       8
H       6.50     / 0.59      11
O       1.77     / 0.59       3
N        0.59    / 0.59       1<span>
</span><span>
The empirical formula would be C8H11O3N.</span>

Phosphorus atomic radius is smaller than magnesium atomic radius <br> True or false
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Atomic radius can be defined as a measure of the size (distance) of the atom of a chemical element such as hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen etc, typically from the nucleus to the valence electrons. The atomic radius of a chemical element decreases across the periodic table, typically from alkali metals (group one elements such as hydrogen, lithium and sodium) to noble gases (group eight elements such as argon, helium and neon). Also, the atomic radius of a chemical element increases down each group of the periodic table, typically from top to bottom (column).

<em>Hence, the atomic radius of phosphorus is smaller than the atomic radius of magnesium. Basically, the atomic radius of phosphorus is 98 pm while the atomic radius of magnesium is 145 pm.</em>
