Answer:

C2H5NO

Explanation:

constituent elements                    N              O               C                H

Mass composition                     0.420        0.480         0.540         0.135

mole ratio                                   0.42/14       0.48/16      0.54/12         0.135/1

                                              = 0.03                0.03             0.045         0.135

dividing by the smallest           0.03/0.03     0.03/0.03    0.045/0.03 0.135/0.03

ratio                                      =        1                      1                1.5                 4.5

                                             =        1                      1                  2                   5

EMPERICAL FORMULA = C2H5NO

What is the Bond Type and Molecular polarity of PCl3?
DedPeter [7]
It is covalent bonding. The electrons are shared between the phosphorus and the chlorines.

covalent bonding is when electrons are shared between two elements.

molecular polarity is a little bit complicated, but I will try to explain ;)
PCl3 is an alternation on tetrahedral molecules.
It means that P has one lone pair of electrons. This pair of electrons are only attracted to the P nuclei and thus a greater freedom of motion.
This means that their orbital is bigger and this pushes the 3 Cl atoms closer together.
The angle between each Cl now is 107 and the angle between Cls and P is greater than 107.
Now, due to this shape, and also electronegativity (Cl is more electronegative than P meaning that it tends to hog the electrons they share closer to itself), PCl3 is polar. Electrons that are shared tend to flow closer towards the Cl than the P side.
Therefore, on the Cl side of the molecule it's, more negative. On the P side, it's more positive.
