Answer:

Explanation:

C = 49.48

H = 5.19

O = 16.48

N = 28.85

ratio of moles

= 49.48 / 12 : 5.19 / 1 : 16.48 / 16 : 28.85 / 14

= 4.123 : 5.19 : 1.03 : 2.06

= 4 : 5 : 1 : 2

so the empirical formula = C₄ H₅O N₂

Let molecular formula = (  C₄ H₅ON₂ )ₙ ,

n ( 48 + 5 + 16 + 28 ) = 119.19

97 n = 194.19

n = 2 ( approx )

molecular formula = C₈ H₁₀O₂ N₄

Rules for naming ionic compounds wiht transition metal
Aneli [31]

Rules for naming ionic compounds with transition metal requires the elementary name of metal followed the anion name with suffix ide.

<h3>What are ionic compounds?</h3>

Ionic compounds are made up of ions, which are charged particles that occur when an atom (or group of atoms) acquires or loses electrons. Generally cations are metals and anions are non metals in it.

Following rules will be considered during naming:

  • First determine the metal's elemental name.
  • Give the nonmetal its elemental name and the suffix -ide.
  • Use roman numerals to denote positive charge when naming metals that can have distinct oxidation states.
  • Name the polyatomic ions according to their names.

Hence rules for naming are listed above.
