Answer: 17) d. 
18. c. The empirical formula of a compound can be twice the molecular formula.
Explanation:
Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.
To calculate the molecular formula, we need to find the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.
The equation used to calculate the valency is:

The empirical mass can be calculated from empirical formula and molar mass must be known.
17. Thus the empirical formula of
should be 
18. The molecular formula will either be same as empirical formula or is a whole number multiple of empirical formula. Thus the empirical formula of a compound can never be twice the molecular formula.
I need a little more context but I believe you are correct
Chemistry is the branch of science that deals with the identification of the substances of which matter is composed the investigation of their properties and the ways in which they interact, combine, and change and the use of these processes to form new substances.
Answer:
the mass number is the number of protons and neutrons added and the average atomic mass is the weight of the protons and neutrons
