Answer:

Molecular formula

Explanation:

Molecular formula in the first place is required to understand which compound we have. We then should refer to the periodic table and find the molecular weight for each atom. Adding individual molecular weights together would yield the molar mass of a compound.

Then, dividing the total molar mass of a specific atom by the molar mass of a compound and converting into percentage will provide us with the percentage of that specific atom.

E. g., calculate the percent composition of water:

  • molecular formula is H_2O;
  • calculate its molar mass: [tex]M = 2M_H + M_O = 2\cdot 1.00784 g/mol + 16.00 g/mol = 18.016 g/mol;
  • find the percentage of hydrogen: [tex]\omega_H = \frac{2\cdot 1.00784 g/mol}{18.016 g/mol}\cdot 100 \% = 11.19 %;
  • find the percentage of oxygen: [tex]\omega_O = \frac{16.00 g/mol}{18.016 g/mol}\cdot 100 \% = 88.81 %.

After our solar system began to form, dust and gas combined into small bodies that formed the planets. What are these small bodi
saul85 [17]

Answer:

Planetesimal

Explanation:

According to Nebular Theory, the Solar system was formed from the Solar Nebula about 4.6 billion years ago. Nebula is a molecular cloud composed of dust and gases. Majority of the mass accreted to form a core which gradually formed the Sun. The remaining mass of the disk surrounding the core accreted into small bodies known as Planetesimal which formed the planets.

galben [10]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. A refracting telescope is made smaller than a reflecting telescope because small lenses cause less distortion in images than big lenses. <span> They are not subject to chromatic aberration because reflected light does not disperse according to wavelength.</span>
