7 0

Answer:

six electrons

Explanation:

The six electrons in the outermost shell allow selenium to have a variety of valence numbers. Selenium compounds have been found that have valences of -2, 4, and 6. Speaking of the number six, selenium is found to have six naturally occurring isotopes.

A sample of a compound is determined to have 1.17 g of carbon and 0.287 g of hydrogen. what is the correct representation of the
yarga [219]

CH3 is the empirical formula for the compound.

A sample of a compound is determined to have 1.17g of Carbon and 0.287 g of hydrogen.

The number of atom or moles in the compound is

1.17 g C X  1 mol of C / 12.011 g C = 0.097411 mol of C.

0.287 g H x 1 mol of  H / 1 g H = 0.28474 mol H.

This compound contains 0.097411 mol of carbon and 0.28474 mol of Hydrogen.

So we can represent the compound with the formula C0.974H0.284.

Subscripts in formulas can be made into whole numbers by multiplying the smaller subscript by the larger subscript.

we can divide 0.284 by 0.0974.

0.284 / 0.0974 = 3.

So here, Carbon is one and hydrogen is 3.

We can write the above formula as a CH3.

Hence the empirical formula for the sample compound is CH3.

Why do some objects fall through the air at a different rate then others (this is for science)
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

the amount of air resistance depends upon the speed of the object, more massive objects fall faster than less massive objects because they are acted upon by a larger force of gravity; for this reason, they accelerate to higher speeds until the air resistance force equals the gravity force.

Consider two compounds. Compound A contains 15.7 g of sulfur and 18.6 g of fluorine. Compound B contains 25.4 g of sulfur and 60
Lunna [17]

Answer:

No, compound A and B are not the same compound

Explanation:

According to the law of definite proportion "every chemical compound contains fixed and constant proportions (by mass) of its constituent elements." (Encyclopedia Britannica)

We can see in the question that the ratio of flourine to sulphur in compound A is 1.18 while the ratio of flourine to sulphur in compound B is 2.37.

The two chemical compounds do not contain a fixed proportion by mass of their constituent elements therefore, they can not be same compound according to the law of definite proportions.
