Basically, an element<span> is made of only one kind of atom, while a </span>compound<span> contains the atoms of two or more </span>elements<span>.


Just to give you a good exaple:

Gold is made of only one kind of atom, so it's considered an </span>element<span>, but water is a mix of hydrogen and oxygen, so it's a </span>compound<span>.</span>

Answer:

Option d: C₈H₉NO₂ = acetaminophen, analgesic

Explanation:

% composition of compound is:

63.57 g of C

6 g of H

9.267 g of N

21.17 g of O

First of all we divide each by the molar mass of the element

63.57 g / 12 gmol = 5.29 mol of C

6 g of H / 1 g/mol = 6 mol H

9.267 g of N / 14 g/mol =  0.662 mol of N

21.17 g of O / 16 g/mol = 1.32 mol of O

We divide each by the lowest value, in this case 0.662

5.29 / 0.662 = 8

6 / 0.662 = 9

0.662 / 0.662 = 1

1.32 / 0.662 = 2

Molecular formula of the compound is C₈H₉NO₂
