Moles of P = 56,4g/30,974g/mole = 1,82 moles P
moles of O = 43,6/15,999 = 2,73 moles of O
converting to the simplest ratio:
For P : 1,82/1,82 = 1
For O : 2,73/1,82 = 1,5
1 P and 2 oxygens.
PO2 -> the empirical formula
hope this help
Answer:
A molecule is a group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. A compound is a substance which is formed by two or more different types of elements which are united chemically in a fixed proportion. All molecules are not compounds.
Good luck !
