Explanation:
From the knowledge of law of multiple proportions,
mass ratio of S to O in SO:
mass of S : mass of O
= 32 : 16
= 32/16
= 2/1
mass ratio of S to O in SO2:
= mass of S : 2 × mass of O
= 32 : 2 × 16
= 32/32
= 1/1
ratio of mass ratio of S to O in SO to mass ratio of S to O in SO2:
= 2/1 ÷ 1/1
= 2
Thus, the S to O mass ratio in SO is twice the S to O mass ratio in SO2.
Answer:
The larger the number of the energy level, the farther it is from the nucleus. Electrons that are in the highest energy level are called valence electrons. Within each energy level is a volume of space where specific electrons are likely to be located.
Your question isn't quite clear, but if you're wondering if a chemical is polar or non-polar, you simply draw a VSEPR sketch and draw arrows where the bonds are. Only draw arrows between atoms, NOT between an atom and a lone pair of electrons. The arrow should point to the most electronegative atom (you should be given an electronegativity scale). Afterwards, you add up the arrows as vectors, and look at the sum of the vectors. If the sum is zero (CH4 is a good example), the chemical is non-polar. If the sum is a vector, the chemical is polar (H2O, or water, is polar).
I think because its the only one to be liquid at normal temperatures.
