Answer:

A. absorbs light

Explanation:

For an electron to move from a lower energy level to a higher energy level, energy needs to be added to the atom.

In most cases this required energy will be light: The electron of the atom will absorb the energy of the light and move to a higher energy level.

When said electron comes back to the lower energy level, the atom will conversely give off light.

<span>If two metals both have the same color, have similar densities, and are about the same size, but one is shiny and the other is dull, they can be separated based on the lustrous physical property of a metal. Lustrous is the property of the metal to shine/gleam gently because of its particle arrangement of atoms. </span>

Which formula is an empirical formula?

poizon [28]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The empirical formula is the option B. $NH_{3}$

The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest formula that can be written. On the opposite, the molecular formula involves a variant of the same compound, but it can be also simplified to an empirical formula.

$MolecularFormula=n(EmpiricalFormula)$

We are looking for a formula that cannot be simplified by dividing the number of molecules/atoms that conforms the compound.

Let's discard option by option in order to find which formula is an empirical formula (cannot be simplified)

A. $N_{2}O_{4}$

It's not an empirical formula, it's a molecular formula since it can be obtained by multiplying the empirical formula of the same compound.

$N_{2}O_{4}=2(NO_{2})$

B. $NH_{3}$

It's an empirical formula since it cannot be obtained by the multiplication of a whole number and the simplest formula. It's the simplest formula that we can find of the compound.

C. $C_{3}H_{6}$
