Answer:

Empirical formula is Na₂CO₃

Molecular formula is Na₂CO₃

Explanation:

Percentage compositions of the elements;

Sodium = 46%

Carbon = 12 %

Oxygen = 42%

To determine empirical formula, we calculate the mole ratio first.

mole ratio =  % mass/atomic mass; where the atomic masses of the elements are :  Na = 23 u, C = 12 u and O = 16 u.

mole ratio: Na = 46/23; C = 12/12; O = 42/16

mole ratio (Na : C : O) = 2 : 1 : 2.6

approximate mole ratio = 2 : 1 :3

Therefore, empirical formula of compound is Na₂CO₃

To determine the molecular formula;

molecular formula or mass = n(empirical formula or mass)

n = molecular mass/empirical mass

molecular mass = 106 u,

empirical mass = 23*2 + 12 + 16*3 = 106 u

then, n = 106/106 = 1

therefore, molecular formula = 1 * (Na₂CO₃) = Na₂CO₃

Explanation:

1. subatomic particles. 

2.proton, electron and neutron

3.The atomic mass of an element is actually the sum of the MASSES of protons and neutrons in AN atom of that element

4.An element's atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nuclei of any of its atoms

5. Number of Protons = Atomic Number

Number of Electrons = Number of Protons = Atomic Number

Number of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number

For krypton:

Number of Protons = Atomic Number = 36

Number of Electrons = Number of Protons = Atomic Number = 36

Number of Neutrons = Mass Number - Atomic Number = 84 - 36 = 48

6. electron, lightest stable subatomic particle known. It carries a negative charge of 1.602176634 × 10−19 coulomb, which is considered the basic unit of electric charge. The rest mass of the electron is 9.1093837015 × 10−31 kg

7.The center of the atom is called a nucleus

8. Negatively charged particles are found in multiple layers outside the nucleus of the atom. These particles are called electrons, and they orbit in various energy levels around the atom's nucleus.

9. A charged particle is also called an ion

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Nucleic acid is an important class of macromolecules found in all cells and viruses. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) encodes the information the cell needs to make proteins.

A related type of nucleic acid, called ribonucleic acid (RNA), comes in different molecular forms that participate in protein synthesis.
