Empirical formula is calculated as follows
calculate the moles of each element, that is % composition/ molar mass
molar masses ( Si= 28.09g/mol , Cl= 35.5 g/mol, I=126.9 g/mol)
moles of silicon = 7.962/28.09g/mol= 0.283 moles
moles of chlorine = 20.10 / 35.5g/mol = 0.566 moles
moles of iodine= 71.94 / 126.9 g/mol= 0.567 moles
divide each mole with smallest mole (0.283)
that is silicon = 0.283/0.283= 1 mole
chlorine = 0.566/0.283= 2 mole
Iodine= o.567/0.283= 2 moles
empirical formula is therefore= SiCl2I2
Answer:
Cell is defined as the smallest unit or basic unit of life.
Answer:
The electron cloud
Explanation:
<em>Rutherford’s gold foil experiment</em> showed that the atom consisted of a tiny nucleus inside of a much larger electron cloud.
The diameter of the electron cloud is about 50 000 times that of the nucleus.
Answer and Explanation:
Polar compounds are those that have an unequal sharing of electrons, causing one end to be more positively or negatively charged than the other end.
Ionic compounds are those that are made up of a positive ion and a negative ion. Clearly, we can see that if one ion is positive and the other is negative, then that would make one end of the compound more or less positively charged than the other end, which is exactly the definition of a polar compound.
That is why ionic compounds are always polar.
Answer:
-data collected from Mauna Loa shows an increase in CO2 by 20% in the last 40 years
-ice core data shows links between CO2 and temperature, with a recent increase in both
-data from ice cores and other proxies show increases in CO2, CH4, and N2O since the Industrial Revolution
