Assume there are 100g of the compound.
Mass of carbon:20.01g
Mass of oxygen:79.99g
Number of mole of carbon:20.01/12=1.6675mol
Number of mole of oxygen:79.99/32=2.4996875mol
Mole ratio between carbon and oxygen:
1.6675/1.6675:2.4996875/1.6675
=1:1.499062969
1x2:1.499062969x2
=2:2.998125937
≈2:3
Hence, the empirical formula:
C2O3

Explain why Cl2 can form two different Na bonds
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer: There is a single covalent bond in a chlorine molecule.

Explanation: The chlorine molecule is represented as Cl−Cl, i.e. C

l2. Between the chlorine atoms, 2 electrons overlap to form a region of high electron density to which the positively charged chlorine nuclei are attracted, such that internuclear repulsion is negated and a net attractive force results. Because the bonding electrons are shared between the nuclei, we conceive that each atom has 8 valence electrons.

Of course, on reaction with sodium, the sodium reduces the chlorine molecule to give 2×Cl−. The resultant bond between Na+ and Cl−is ionic and a non-molecular substance results.
