Answer:
Cl
Explanation:
The element Cl will have the strongest ionization energy from the given choices. Most non-metals have higher ionization energy compared to metals.
Ionization energy is the energy required to remove the most loosely held electron from the gaseous phase of an atom.
- As you go from left to right on the periodic table, it increases progressive
- From top to bottom, the ionization energy reduces significantly.
- The attractive force between the protons in the nucleus and the electrons plays a very important role.
- In metals, they have very large atomic radius, the attractive force on the outer electrons is very weak.
- This is not the case in non-metals
In 5.70 mol of Hafnium there are 34,326
Here, we use the mole as we would use any other collective number: a dozen eggs; a Bakers' dozen; a Botany Bay dozen.
Of course, the mole specifies a much larger quantity, and if I have a mole of stuff then I have
6.022

individual items of that stuff. We can also specify an equivalent mass, because we also know the mass of a mole of iron, and a mole of oxygen etc........The mole is thus the link between the macro world of grams and kilograms and litres, that which we can measure out in the lab, to the micro world of atoms, and molecules, that which we can perceive only indirectly.
Here we have the formula unit

. If there is a mole of formula units, there are necessarily 2 moles of iron atoms, 3 sulfate ions,.......etc.
Answer:
C. the relative number of atoms of each element, using the lowest whole ratio.
Explanation:
The empirical formula is how we simplify the whole formula to simplify it to its smallest indivisible parts.
It is definitely not the actual number of atoms. If you see an empirical formula, don't think that it's the full thing.
It is also not a representation of a compound to show its atoms' arrangement: this would be a Lewis dot structure, or a ball and stick model, or something similar. We don't use the empirical formula for this purpose.
statement c would be correct I think.
