Answer:
P₄O₆
Explanation:
The molecular formula is a whole number multiple of the empirical formula. that is, if the mole wt is 219.9 gms/mole and the empirical formula weight is 110 gms/mole*, then the whole number multiple is 219.9/110 = 2 => Molecular formula => (P₂O₄)₂ => P₄O₆.
The correct answer is C.
On the left:
2 carbon+ 2 oxygen+ 2 oxygen
On the right:
2 carbon+ 4 oxygen (remember to multiply the subscript by the coefficient)
Ions are stable atoms of elements formed when original atoms loose or gain electrons to form stable configuration. Anions are negatively charged ions formed when atoms gain electrons while cations are the positively charged ions formed when atoms loose electrons. In this case a charge of +1 means an atom lost one electron to form a stable configuration. Therefore, the correct answer is A
