Answer:

Na₂₆F₁₁

Explanation:

We find the moles of the substance assuming 100 g of the substance is present. Why do we take 100 g? Because then the percent of sodium/fluorine, would be the g of sodium/fluorine respectively:

74.186 g Sodium | 1 mol Sodium/23 g              =>       3.2255 mol Na    

25.814 g Fluorine | 1 mol Fluorine/19 g             =>       1.3586 mol F

Divide each by smallest number of moles:

3.2255/1.3586 = 2.37

1.3586/1.3586 = 1

Multiply by common number to get a smallest whole number:

2.37*11 = 26,

1*11 = 11

The empirical formula is Na₂₆F₁₁

Why do atomic model has changed over time
Elenna [48]

The model of the atom has dramatically changed over many many years.We learned atoms make up different substances and are the smallest particles of matter, which have subatomic particles that are very small portions of matter. At first scientist only thought there were electrons which are negatively charged.

What happens to the composition of an atom to cause it to become positively or negatively charged?
cupoosta [38]
<span>The addition and subtraction of negatively charged electrons can easily change an atom’s charge, because they perpetually spin in valence shells outside the nucleus. It is easier for a neighboring atom to share or steal an electron rather than a positively charged proton, which is found in the nucleus. It requires a strong energy input to split a proton free from other protons and neutrons. thus, the atoms lose or gain electrons from neighboring ones and become what is known as "ions". Hope it helped!</span>
