The molecular formula for the compound is 
<u>Explanation</u>:
As with all of these problems, we assume 100 g of an unknown compound.
And thus, we determine the elemental composition by the given percentages.
Moles of carbon = 85.64 / 12.011
= 7.13 mol.
Moles of hydrogen = 14.36 / 1.00794
= 14.25 mol.
There are 2 moles of hydrogen per mole of carbon. And thus the empirical formula is CH
.
And molecular formula = n × (empirical formula)
Thus, 42.08 = n × (12.011 + 2 × 1.00794)
And thus n = 3, and molecular formula =
I’m not sure what this says could you translate it to English please?
Oxidation numbers play an important role in the systematic nomenclature of chemical compounds. By definition, the oxidation number of an atom is the charge that atom would have if the compound was composed of ions. The oxidation number of simple ions is equal to the charge on the ion. The oxidation number of sodium in the Na+<span> ion is +1.</span>
it has to me b because it shows what they did in this part
<span>A metal is one which ionizes easily and gives electrons whencompared to other elements.
So it should have a lower ionization energy.
Hence we would expect element 2 to be a metal.</span>
