Answer: XF8

Explanation:

Empirical Formular shows the simplest ratio of elements in a compound.

 Xe = 46.3%             F  = 53.7%

Divide the percentage composition of each element by the atomic  mass.

Xe = 46.3/ 131.3                      F= 53.7/ 19

      = 0.353( approx)               =  2.826 (approx)

Divide through with the smallest of the answers gotten in previous step.

 Xe = 0.353 / 0.353                F = 2.826/ 0.353

       =  1                                       = 8.0

Empirical formular = XF8

What does it mean for the energy levels in an atom to be quantized? Describe how this affects where electrons can be found
marta [7]
When we describe the energy of a particle as quantized, we mean that only certain values of energy are allowed. ... In this case, whenever we measure the particle's energy, we will find one of those values. If the particle is measured to have 4 Joules of energy, we also know how much energy the particle can gain or lose. Quantized energy means that the electrons can possess only certain discrete energy values; values between those quantized values are not permitted

Actual value= -273 Experimental value= -274
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

<h2><u><em>When measuring data, the result often varies from the true value. Error can arise due to many different reasons that are often related to human error, but can also be due to estimations and limitations of devices used in measurement. Regardless, in cases such as these, it can be valuable to calculate the percentage error. The computation of percentage error involves the use of the absolute error, which is simply the difference between the observed and the true value.</em></u></h2>

How does elements and compounds reacting together is essential in everyday matters?
MrMuchimi

Chemical reactions are at the essence of just about every biological and physical process in the whole universe. Stars form due to chemical reactions, our sun flamed up also because of chemical reactions in its core. Life basically evolved on Earth as an outcome of chemical reactions. The "circle of life" is, at its quintessence, a sequence of chemical reactions. Also our capacity to move and think  is an outcome of chemical reactions that happen inside our bodies. Chemical reactions are the reason why new forms of matter are created. Chemical reactions make us comprehend the properties of matter. Chemical reactions make food into fuel for our bodies, they make fireworks blow up, they change food when it is cooked, they make soap remove dirt, and a lot more. Chemical reactions contribute to solving crimes and unravel mysteries. We can even find out which planets and moons are most likely to be able to preserve life. The most significant and momentous discovery made by humans, fire, is just a chemical reaction. Nothing would ever change without chemical reactions

An element with atomic number 18 is a noble gas.Into which family you shall place elements with atomic number 17 and 19 and why?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

An element with atomic number 18 is a noble gas.

The element with atomic number 19 will have one extra electron so it can donate one electron or shed one electron to attain noble gas configuration .

It tends to shed one electron to become positively charged ion . Hence they are electro-positive elements .  

Similarly the element with atomic number 17 will have one short  electron so it can gain  one electron  to attain noble gas configuration .

They  tend to gain  one electron to become negatively charged ion . Hence they are electro-negative  elements . They have high  electronegativity .
