  • <em>an empirical formula</em><em> </em><em>is the simplest formula for a compound </em><em>.</em><em>For</em><em> </em><em>example</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>H2O2</em><em> </em><em>can be </em><em> </em><em>reduced to a </em><em>si</em><em>mpler</em><em> </em><em>formula</em><em>.</em><em> </em>
  • <em>Determining a Molecular Formula from an Empirical Formula The empirical formula for a compound is P 2 O 5 . Its experimental molar mass is 284 g/mol.</em>
  • <em>For example, the empirical formula of benzene (C5H5) is Qj, - because the mole ratio of carbon am'hydrogen is 1:1.</em>

Answer:

Nonbonding pairs of electrons.

Explanation:

Both oxygen atoms in the diatomic molecule have two nonbonding pairs. This results in the oxygen molecule having a planar geometric shape. This is because nonbonding pairs repel each other are significant in determining the shape of a molecule.

Draw the product formed when the compound shown below undergoes a reaction with hcl in ch2cl2.
Taya2010 [7]
 The product formed  when HCl and CH2Cl2 react  is   CH4
         H
     H-C- H    methane structure 
         H

  HCl    react with CH2Cl2  to form  methane (CH4) and chlorine gas(Cl2)
that is,

2HCl(g)  + CH2Cl2(l)  = CH4 (g) +2Cl2 (g)

how to determine the aspects for core and valence electrons in a periodic table. How comes in some elements like cobalt the 3d i
dusya [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The electron configuration of an atom in an element determines the property of the atom. The core electrons are found inside the atom while the valence electrons are found on the outermost shell of the atom.

For cobalt, the outermost shell electron configuration is; [Ar] 3d7 4s2. The 3d7 and 4s2 are found in the valence shell of cobalt.

For arsenic, the electronic configuration is [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p³. The valence electrons are 4s2, 4p3. The 3d electrons are found inside the arsenic atom.
