Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of sample = 235g
Molecular mass of sample = 128.1g
Empirical formula = CH₂O
Unknown:
Mass of each element in the sample = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we must know that the empirical formula of any compound is the simplest ratio of the atoms it contains. This is not the true formula of the compound.
Molecular formula = (Empirical formula)ₙ
Let us find the molecular mass of the sample;
CH₂O = 12 + 2(1) + 16 = 30g
128.1 = (30)n
n = 4
The molecular formula of the compound is; (CH₂O)₄ = C₄H₈O₄
Now to find the grams of each element in the sample;
Express the molecular mass of each element and that of the compound as a fraction and multiply with the given mass;
For C;
= 88.06g
H; 
= 14.68g
O: 
= 117.41g

True
Explanation:
Ionic compounds are chemical compounds that dissociates into positive and negative ions and are globally neutral due to the charge balance. They are made up of metals and non-metals.
- Ionic bonds are formed between two kinds of atoms having a large electronegativity difference.
- It is usually between metals and non-metals.
- The formation of this bond type involves the transfer of electrons from the less electronegative atom such that the two kinds of atoms now have completely filled outer shell like the noble gases.
- This transfer makes the metal positively charged while the non-metal becomes negatively charged.
- The atoms forms ions that are oppositely charged.
- The charges are balanced out leaving a net neutral compound.
- The electrostatic force of attraction between these ions is the ionic or electrovalent bond.

I believe it’s because they are trying to find other things that won’t pollute the environment as much, and they are also doing this because we are trying to reduce green house gas. Sorry if i’m wrong :(
