Given the percentage composition of HC as C → 81.82 % and H → 18.18 %
So the ratio of number if atoms of C and H in its molecule can will be:
C : H = 81.82 12 : 18.18 1 C : H = 6.82 : 18.18 = 6.82 6.82 : 18.18 6.82 = 1 : 2.66 ≈ 3 : 8
So the Empirical Formula of hydrocarbon is:
C 3 H 8
As the mass of one litre of hydrocarbon is same as that of C O 2 The molar mass of the HC will be same as that of C O 2 i.e 44 g mol
Now let Molecular formula of the HC be ( C 3 H 8 ) n
Using molar mass of C and H the molar mass of the HC from its molecular formula is:
( 3 × 12 + 8 × 1 ) n = 44 n So 44 n = 44 ⇒ n = 1
Hence the molecular formula of HC is C 3 H 8
Does that help?
Answer is: (3) ionic and molecular.
Ionic compounds are made of ions held together with ionic bonds.
Ionic bond forms when a cation transfers its extra electron to an anion who needs it.
For example compound magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) has ionic bond (the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions).
Magnesium (metal) transfers two electrons (became positive cation) to chlorine (became negative anion).
Molecular compounds are made up of molecules whose atoms are connected with covalent bonds.
Covalent bond is bond between nonmetals.
For example, molecule carbon monoxide CO has covalent bond.
Carbon (C) and oxygen (O) are nonmetals.
Carbon atom and oxygen atom are connected by a triple bond (six shared electrons in three bonding molecular orbitals) that is formed of two covalent bonds and one dative covalent bond.
H2O is the chemical formula of water. It means that each molecule of water is made up of two hydrogen atoms, indicated by the letter H, and a single oxygen atom, represented by the O. Water is a chemical substance with no smell, taste, or color.
Electronic configuration of cromium is
Cr-[Ar]4s¹3d⁵
When cromium loses two electrons it becomes Cr⁺².
So its electronic configuration becomes,
Cr⁺²-[Ar]3d⁴
One electron will go from 4s orbital and one electron will go from 3d orbital.
So the answer here is D. [Ar]3d⁴ -because after losing 2 electrons electronic configuration of cromium becomes [Ar] 3d⁴.
