Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound 
calculating for 100 g of compound 
                                             C                             H                             O
mass                                  64.27 g                   7.19 g                     28.54 g
number of moles        64.27 g / 12 g/mol      7.19 g/1 g/mol     28.54 g / 16 g/mol 
                                        = 5.356 mol           = 7.19 mol           = 1.784 mol 
divide by least number of moles  
                                     5.356 / 1.784            7.19 / 1.784         1.784 / 1.784
                                      = 3.002                     4.03                     = 1.000
rounded off to nearest whole number 
 C - 3
 H - 4
 O - 1
empirical formula - C₃H₄O
 
 mass of empirical formula = 12 g/mol  x 3 + 1 g/mol x 4 + 16 g/mol x 1 = 56 g
molecular mass = 168.19 g/mol 
molecular formula is the actual ratio of elements making up the compound 
number of empirical units = molar mass of molecule / empirical mass
      empirical units = 168.19 g/mol  / 56 g = 3.00
there are 3 empirical units making up the molecular formula 
molecular formula = 3 x C₃H₄O

molecular formula = C₉H₁₂O₃

Show with dot and cross diagram of the formation of ions in the reaction of Fluorine with sodium ions.
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Electron dot diagram is attached below

Explanation:

Sodium is alkali metal and present in group one. It has one valence electron. All alkali metal form salt when react with halogens.

Sodium loses its one electron to get stable.  While all halogens have seven valence electrons they need only one electron to get stable electronic configuration.

When alkali metals such as sodium react with halogen fluorine it loses its one valence electron which is accepted by fluorine and ionic bond is formed. The compound formed is called sodium fluoride.

Na + F   →   NaF

In cross and dot diagram electrons of one atom are shown as dots while other atom shown as cross to distinguish.

Electron dot diagram is attached below.
