Answer:

CS₂

Explanation:

To find the empirical formula we need to determine first the percentage of each atom in the molecule. Then, we need to find the moles and, as empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms we can solve the empirical formula:

<em>%C:</em>

0.33gC / 2.12g * 100 = 15.6%

<em>%S:</em>

1.53g S / 1.82g * 100 = 84.1%

In a basis of 100, the moles of each atom are:

<em>C:</em>

15.6g C * (1mol / 12.01g) = 1.30 moles

<em>S:</em>

84.1g S * (1mol / 32.065g) = 2.62 moles

The ratio of Sulphur-Carbon is:

2.62mol / 1.30mol = 2

That means empirical formula is:

Artemon [7]

Answer:

The middle, or the transitional metals

Explanation:

When naming elements, we use roman numerals to indicate what their charge is. The charge of an element is affected by their number of valence electrons (outermost electrons).

Transitional metals are generally <u>multivalent</u>, meaning that element has more than one possible number of valence electrons. This makes them have more than one possible charge. Roman numerals indicate which charge of that element is used/discussed.
