Answer:
Option C :
a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio
Explanation:
Empirical Formula:
Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.
So,
Tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule
For Example
C₂H₆O₂ Consist of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O)
Now
Look at the ratio of these three atoms in the compound
C : H : O
2 : 6 : 2
Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio
C : H : O
2/2 : 6/2 : 2/2
1 : 3 : 1
So for the empirical formula the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:3:1
So the empirical formula will be
Empirical formula of C₂H₆O₂ = CH₃O
So, Option C is correct :
a chemical formula that shows the relative number of each type of atom in a molecule, using the smallest possible ratio
That will make a gold-202 nucleus.
<h3>Explanation</h3>
Refer to a periodic table. The atomic number of mercury Hg is 80.
Step One: Bombard the with a neutron . The neutron will add 1 to the mass number 202 of . However, the atomic number will stay the same.
- New mass number: 202 + 1 = 203.
- Atomic number is still 80.
.
Double check the equation:
- Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 202 + 1 = 203 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
- Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.
Step Two: The nucleus loses a proton . Both the mass number 203 and the atomic number will decrease by 1.
- New mass number: 203 - 1 = 202.
- New atomic number: 80 - 1 = 79.
Refer to a periodic table. What's the element with atomic number 79? Gold Au.
.
Double check the equation:
- Sum of mass number on the left-hand side = 203 = 202 + 1 = Sum of mass number on the right-hand side.
- Sum of atomic number on the left-hand side = 80 = 79 + 1 = Sum of atomic number on the right-hand side.
A gold-202 nucleus is formed.
