Hydrogen and helium because they only have one electron shell and it only holds up to two electrons in it.
I will try my best to sovle this question...
Im Pretty sure it has to be A. it needs to balance it would not stand in place if not balanced.
The empirical formula :
C₁₀H₁₆N₄SO₇

Given
6.4 g sample
Required
The empirical formula
Solution
mass C :
= 12/44 x 8.37 g
= 2.28
mass H :
= 2/18 x 2.75 g
= 0.305
mass N = 1.06
mass S :
= 32/64 x 1.23
= 0.615
mass O = 6.4 - (2.28+0.305+1.06+0.615) = 2.14 g
Mol ratio :
= C : H : N : S : O
= 2.28/12 : 0.305/1 : 1.06/14 : 0.615/32 : 2.14/16
= 0.19 : 0.305 : 0.076 : 0.019 : 0.133 divided by 0.019
= 10 : 16 : 4 : 1 : 7
The empirical formula :

Answer:
The oxidizing agent is the MnO₄⁻
Explanation:
This is the redox reaction:
10 I⁻ (aq) + 2 MnO₄⁻ (aq) + 16 H⁺ (aq) → 5 I₂ (s) + 2 Mn²⁺ (aq) + 8 H2O (l)
Let's determine the oxidation and the reduction.
I⁻ acts with -1 in oxidation state and changes to 0, at I₂.
All elements in ground state has 0 as oxidation state.
As the oxidation state has increased, this is the oxidation, so the iodide is the reducing agent.
In the permanganate (MnO₄⁻), Mn acts with +7 in oxidation state and decreased to Mn²⁺. As the oxidation state is lower, we talk about the reduction. Therefore, the permanganate is the oxidizing agent because it oxidizes iodide to iodine
