<span>Mg + O2 > MgO. In reactant side, 2 O atoms and 1 Mg are present. In product side, 1 Mg and O atoms are present. Put 2 in product side to balance O atoms and 2 at Mg in reactant side to balance Mg atoms. Therefore the balanced equation becomes, 2Mg + O2 ----> 2MgO. Hope it helps.</span>
The answer is: when the aim is to show electron distributions in shells
An orbital notation is more appropriate if you want to show how the electrons of an atom are distributed in each subshell. This is because there are some atoms that have special electronic configurations that aren't obvious in just written configurations.

oops pls forgive me I accidentally did the wrong question.
Answer:
What is the empirical formula of the compound?
Explanation:
When the relative masses of elements in a hydrocarbon are given, it is possible to use this information to obtain the empirical formula by dividing the given masses of each element by the relative atomic masses of the element. The lowest ratio is now used to divide through to obtain the empirical formula of the compound.
The empirical formula only shows that ratio of atoms of each element present in the compound. From the information provided, the empirical formula of the compound is CH2. Hence the answer.
