61g/mol

Explanation:

The empirical formula of compound is its simplest formula. It shows the simplest ratio by which the atoms are combined.

  In the formula   C₄H₁₀O₄

 we have:

        4 moles of carbon     10 moles of hydrogen    4 moles of Oxygen;

                 4 : 10 : 4

The simplest ratio can be obtained by dividing through by the highest common factor which is 2;

              4/2   10/2    4/2

               2       5        2

the empirical formula is C₂H₅O₂

The formula mass is the sum of the atomic weights;

   C₂H₅O₂ = (2 x 12) + (5x1) + (2x 16) = 24 + 5 + 32 = 61g/mol

I believe that this atom is  chlorine and the atom has an overall charge of zero.
Chlorine is chemical element which is atomic number 17 in the periodic table. Each chlorine atom has 17 protons (positively charged) in the nucleus balanced by 17 electrons (negatively charged) in the energy shells ( thus an overall charge of zero)

Why do we need neutrons in the nucleus?
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Neutrons are required for the stability of nuclei, with the exception of the single-proton hydrogen nucleus. Neutrons are produced copiously in nuclear fission and fusion. They are a primary contributor to the nucleosynthesis of chemical elements within stars through fission, fusion, and neutron capture processes.
