The simplest ratio of elements in a molecule is called as Empirical Formula.
For Example,
Empirical formula of Benzene is CH
Empirical formula of Formaldehyde is CH₂O
Calculation of Empirical Formula:
Empirical formula can be calculated from Molecular formula by dividing the molecular formula with such number that all number of elements in molecular formula gets the lowest and simplest number.
Like Benzene Molecular formula is C₆H₆, when it is divided by 6 we get C₁H₁ or simply CH.
So, for acetic acid having molecular formula C₂H₄O₂ we can only divide it with 2 to have the simplest form, i.e.
C₂H₄O₂ ÷ 2 = C₁H₂O₁ or CH₂O
Result:
So the ratio of elements in acetic acid is
C : H : O
1 : 2 : 1
Not sure but i think c Particles that struck the edges.
My best guess
J. J. Thomson discovered electron by performing an experiment using cathode ray tubes. High voltage across is applied across two electrodes at that causes a beam of particles to flow from the the negatively-charged electrode that is cathode to the positively-charged electrode that is anode. Properties of the particles, are tested using two oppositely-charged electric plates around the cathode ray. The cathode ray was deflected away from the negatively-charged electric plate and towards the positively-charged plate. This indicated that the cathode ray was composed of negatively-charged particles. And these negatively charged particles are called electrons.
Answer:
We can distinguish between ethanol and ethanoic acid by reacting them with a metallic carbonate like Na2CO3 or a bicarbonate like NaHCO3 ....... ethanoic acid reacts to give to give CO2 and no reaction takes place in case of ethanol.
Answer:
There must be two Chlorine atoms for every one Calcium atom in order to fulfill Chlorine's octet rule and pair Calcium's unpaired electrons.
Explanation:
Calcium has two unpaired electrons in its Lewis dot structure, while Chlorine has one unpaired electron.
<em>So why can't we just make a double bond for </em><em>one</em><em> Chlorine?</em>
Chlorine has seven valence electrons, so once it shares electrons with Calcium, the octet rule is accomplished, and no more pairs can be made.
