Answer:

KNO₂

Explanation:

To get the empirical formula of a compound, we follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Given data

%K = 45.942%

%N = 16.458%

%O = 100.000% - 45.942% - 16.458% = 37.600%

Step 2: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element

K: 45.942 / 39.098 = 1.1750

N: 16.458 / 14.007 = 1.1750

O: 37.600 / 15.999 = 2.3501

Step 3: We divide all the coefficients by the smallest number

K: 1.1750 / 1.1750 = 1

N: 1.1750 / 1.1750 = 1

O: 2.3501 / 1.1750 = 2

The empirical formula is KNO₂.

What are the forces that hold sodium and chloride ions together?
Phantasy [73]
Sodium is a metal, Chloride is a non-metal.

Right off the bat, you know that in order for both of these atoms to achieve a full valence shell that the metal has to lose electrons, and the non-metal has to gain them.

Therefore, you have the transfer of electrons in this bond in order to form ions.
Na+ and Cl-. This transfer of electrons in a bond is called an {{ Ionic Bond}}

What is the concept of galactic recycling?
frozen [14]
Galactic recycling is a natural phenomenon in which the stars expel some gas into the space so that it would mix with the interstellar medium. As a result, this would produce new younger stars. So, basically, the concept done here is the mass and energy conservation. In order to create new species, the energy must come from another source.

A natural charge by an atom is caused by which of the following conditions?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

I'm assuming that you meant to type neutral charge.

Since electrons are negative and protons are positive, having a balanced number of both of these would cause an atom to have a neutral charge.
