Answer:
d.) It is a binary molecular compound.
Explanation:
The compound in question has a formula 
. The compound is not acidic in nature and the element 'M' is not a metal. This shows that the compound does not contain any metal. Based on the definition of a binary molecular compound as a compound comprising elements that are not metals. Therefore, the compound is obviously a binary molecular compound.

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>
= 226 Liters of oxygen
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
We use the equation;
LiClO4 (s) → 2O2 (g) + LiCl, to get the moles of oxygen;
Moles of LiClO4;
(500 g LiClO4) / (106.3916 g LiClO4/mol)
= 4.6996 moles
Moles of oxygen;
But, for every 1 mol LiClO4, two moles of O2 are produced;
= 9.3992 moles of Oxygen
V = nRT / P
= (9.3992 mol) x (8.3144621 L kPa/K mol) x (21 + 273) K / (101.5 kPa)
= 226 L of oxygen
