The correct answer is Cl.
Chlorine is a substance that's employed in industry and is present in a number of household goods. There are times when chlorine takes the form of toxic gas. Chlorine gas can be converted into a liquid by applying pressure and cooling so that it can be transported and stored. The term "oxidation number" refers to the number of electrons that an element's atom either loses or gains during the production of a compound. The charge that an atom seems to have when forming ionic connections with other heteroatoms is used to define an atom's oxidation number. Even if it develops a covalent bond, an atom with a higher electronegativity is given a negative oxidation state.

#SPJ4
Sodium (Na) has a +1 charge and Iodine ( I ) has a -1 charge. To create a molecule of sodium iodide the charges will need to balance.
Because the charges on anion and cation are the same; the molecular formula will be NaI
The way you calculate the empirical formula is to firstly assume 100g. To find each elements moles you take each elements percentage listed, times it by one mole and divide it by its atomic mass. (ex: moles of K =55.3g x 1 mole/39.1g, therefore there is 1.41432225 moles of Potassium) Once you’ve completed this for every element you list each elements symbol beside it’s number of moles and divide by the smallest number because it can only go into its self once. After you’ve done this, you’ve found your empirical formula, which is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound. I’ve added an example of a empirical question I completed last semester :)
Explanation:
1 mol = 22.4 l
5.42 mol = 22.4 × 5.42 = 121.408
in two decimal place it is 121.41
