<span>The smallest unit of an element that retains all the characteristics of that element is called an A. atom.
Atoms consist of protons, electrons, and neutrons, but they are particles and don't have the characteristics of the element which is why D is incorrect. B and C are not the smallest units - atoms are smaller than them.

We are told we have an oxyacid of the formula HOFO. We will assume the atoms are in this order and will draw a proper lewis structure for this compound by first drawing bonds between each of the 4 atoms and then place the remaining electron pairs on each atom:
.. .. ..
H - O - F - O:
·· ·· ··
We can calculate the formal charge of an atom using the following formula:
Formal charge = [# of valence electrons] - [# of non-bonded electrons + # of bonds]
H: Formal charge = [1]-[0+1] = 0
O: Formal charge = [6]-[4+2] = 0
F: Formal charge = [7]-[4+2] = +1
O: Formal charge = [6]-[6+1] = -1
As we can see the overall charge of the molecule is neutral since the fluorine as a +1 charge and the oxygen a -1 charge.

Answer: The concentartion of solution will be 0.224 M
Explanation:
Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present per liter of the solution.
Formula used :
where,
n= moles of solute =
= volume of solution in ml = 275 ml
Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get
Therefore, the concentration of solution will be 0.224 M
