The empirical formula is a formula of a compound showing the proportion of each element involved in the compounds but it does not represent the total number of atoms in the compound. It is the lowest number of ratio between the elements in the compound. In order, to determine the actual number of the atoms or the molecular formula of the compounds, we make use of the molar mass of the compound.
<span>To
determine the molecular formula, we multiply a value to the empirical formula.
Then, calculate the molar mass and see whether it is equal to the one
given (104.1 g/ mol). From the choices, the only valid options are b, d and e.

1 CH 13.02
8 C8H8 104.16
6 C6H6 78.12
Therefore the correct answer is option B.
Neon has filled its outer shells, therefore it is very stable and does not need to react with other elements and doesn’t form compounds.
Sorry this will probably be pretty long.
So think of the "control" as being something you yourself add to increase or decrease the effects in an experiment.
I'll give you an example so it is not as confusing.
Say you have decided to make an experiment on plants. Which plant can grow the fastest on which type of liquid? What is being added to this experiment? The liquid! Or all of the liquids you used. Like if you used Coke, Lime Gatorade, Orange Gatorade, and Water. Each drink will EFFECT each plant differently.
Hope I was of any hope?
