<u>Answer:</u> The chemical formula is XSO_3

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ionization energy is defined as the amount of energy that is required to remove an electron from a chemical species.

The ionization energy equation for the given values follow:

X(g)\rightarrow X^+(g)+e^-;E_I=590kJ/mol

X^+(g)\rightarrow X^{2+}(g)+e^-;E_I=1145kJ/mol

X^{2+}(g)\rightarrow X^{3+}(g)+e^-;E_I=4912kJ/mol

From the values of ionization energy above, it can be seen that the ionization energy increases as every succeeding electron is removed.

Second ionization energy is a little higher than the first one but there is a huge amount of difference between the third and second ionization energy.

This implies that the ion formed during second ionization energy has a stable configuration and it requires a humongous amount of heat to release the third electron.

Hence, the ion formed will be X^{2+}

Sulfite ion is a polyatomic ion having a chemical formula of SO_3^{2-}

An ionic compound is formed between the two ions and the chemical compound formed between the two will have a formula of XSO_3

Hence, the chemical formula is XSO_3

The radius of a helium atom is a 31 PM. What is the radius in nanometers?
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Thus, the radius of the helium atom in nanometers is - 0.031 nm

Explanation:

Given that:-

The radius of the helium atom = 31 pm

Considering the conversion of length in pm to the length in nm as:-

1 pm = 0.001 nm

So,

Applying the above conversion factor in the radius of helium atom as:-

Radius = 31\times 0.001 nm = 0.031 nm

<u>Thus, the radius of the helium atom in nanometers is - 0.031 nm</u>

What are the products of the complete combustion of a hydrocarbon in excess oxygen
dangina [55]
The products for the complete combustion of a hydrocarbon in excess air is carbon dioxide and water. Any hydrocarbon when reacted with oxygen will always yield the said products. Incomplete combustion, on the other hand, yields carbon monoxide and water.
