CH3 is the empirical formula for the compound.
A sample of a compound is determined to have 1.17g of Carbon and 0.287 g of hydrogen.
The number of atom or moles in the compound is
1.17 g C X 1 mol of C / 12.011 g C = 0.097411 mol of C.
0.287 g H x 1 mol of H / 1 g H = 0.28474 mol H.
This compound contains 0.097411 mol of carbon and 0.28474 mol of Hydrogen.
So we can represent the compound with the formula C0.974H0.284.
Subscripts in formulas can be made into whole numbers by multiplying the smaller subscript by the larger subscript.
we can divide 0.284 by 0.0974.
0.284 / 0.0974 = 3.
So here, Carbon is one and hydrogen is 3.
We can write the above formula as a CH3.
Hence the empirical formula for the sample compound is CH3.

Chlorine + Calcium --> Ionic Bond
Iron cannot covalently bond as it is a metal
Ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that refers to the bonding of <span>oppositely charged ions (anions and cations) because of attraction and the </span>transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. Cation is the metal that loses electrons and become a positively charged cation, and anions are
the nonmetal that accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged
anion.
According this explanation, an ionic bond is:
B. the force that holds the valence electrons to the atom
