Answer: C4H6O, C2H3O2

Explanation:

C:H:O                                                            C2H3O2

40.6:5.1:54.2                                                (12x2) + (1x3) + (16x2) = 59

40.6/12 : 5.1/1 : 54.1/16                              118.1/59 =2     

3.38 : 5.1 : 3.38                                            C4H6O4

X (1:1.5:1) =

C2H3O2

Reasoning you used to decide if something was made of molecules.​
sasho [114]

Answer:

Whether something is a molecule or not depends on the type of bond that is formed when its atoms join together. In general, electrons can be shared between atoms (a molecular bond) or electrons can be completely removed from one atom and given to another (an ionic bond). Molecules have molecular bonds.

What are the major storage reservoirs of carbon
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Check Explanation.

Explanation:

When we are talking about the reservoirs of carbon we mean the places where carbon are been stored. So, we will be considering the places where carbon can be stored in our planet. Remember that carbon is the 6th element in the periodic table or chart.

Within these Reservoirs, the carbon moves from one to another and that is called Carbon cycle. The reservoirs of carbon can be in the atmosphere, the lithosphere and in the biosphere.

(1). Carbon can be stored in the atmosphere as Carbondioxide,CO2.

(2). Carbon can be found on lithosphere in sedimentary rock such as limestone. Also, as components in fossil fuels.

(3). Carbon can be found in the biosphere as soil carbon.

Comparing the mass of the nucleus with the mass of the protons and the mass of the neutrons refers to what?
DaniilM [7]
E) mass defect 
This is so because the mass defect is the difference between the particles of the nucleous weight and the nucleous itself. According to the equation E=mc^2, the mass defect is related the the binding theory. In order to calculate the mass defect of an atom you need to add up the masses of each proton and each of neutron that are present in the nucleus and then you substract the actual mass of the nucleus from the combined mass.
