It would be false sulfur has 6
Answer:
No, in science their meanings are not the same as their everyday meanings.
Explanation:
In Science, Precision and Accuracy are defined as,
Accuracy:
Accuracy is the value which is closest to the known or standard value.
Precision:
While, Precision is the value of closeness of two measured values to each other.
Example:
Let suppose in Chemistry Lab you weight an object as 50 g. While the actual weight of that object is 30 g. It means your reading is not accurate.
On second measurement you find that the object weight is 31 g. This time your reading is not precise.
6.022×10^23 should be correct. Are there any options to choose from?

Empirical formula is calculated as follows
calculate the moles of each element, that is % composition/ molar mass
molar masses ( Si= 28.09g/mol , Cl= 35.5 g/mol, I=126.9 g/mol)
moles of silicon = 7.962/28.09g/mol= 0.283 moles
moles of chlorine = 20.10 / 35.5g/mol = 0.566 moles
moles of iodine= 71.94 / 126.9 g/mol= 0.567 moles
divide each mole with smallest mole (0.283)
that is silicon = 0.283/0.283= 1 mole
chlorine = 0.566/0.283= 2 mole
Iodine= o.567/0.283= 2 moles
empirical formula is therefore= SiCl2I2
