A chemical formula shows the kinds and numbers of <u>atoms</u> in the smallest representative unit of a substance.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In chemistry, a  formula unit is the empirical formula of "ionic or covalent network solid compound" that is used as an independent entity for "stoichiometric calculations". This formula is a representation of a molecule that uses chemical symbols.

The unit is the lowest whole number ratio of ions represented in an ionic compound. It gives the numbers of atoms representing the "smallest representative" unit of a substance. The number of atoms also tells us about the chemical and physical properties of the compound formed.

Compare the patterns of earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain ranges on earth?
IgorC [24]

At diverging plate boundaries, earthquakes occurs as the plates pull away from each other. Volcanoes form between the plates, as magma rises upward from the underlying mantle. Second, two plates may come together, at a converging plate boundary. Two situations are possible at converging plate boundaries.

What is the electron configuration for<br> 08<br> 16
Elis [28]

The electron configuration for Oxygen : [He] 2s²2p⁴

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Writing electron configurations starts from the lowest to the highest sub-shell energy level. There are 4 sub-shells in the shell of an atom, namely s, p, d, and f. The maximum number of electrons for each sub-shell is  

• s: 2 electrons  

• p: 6 electrons  

• d: 10 electrons and  

• f: 14 electrons  

Charging electrons in the sub-shell uses the following sequence:  

<em>1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s², etc.  </em>

The element is Oxgen, with symbol O, and :

the atomic number=8=number of electron

the atomic mass=16

The electron configuration based on the number of electrons(for Oxygen=8), so the configuration :

\tt _8^{16}O:1s^22s^22p^4 or we can write with noble gas [He] 2s²2p⁴
