Ionic bonding is bonding between a metal and a nonmetal, in short. For example, NaCl (table salt, Sodium Chloride) is an ionic bond. This is because Sodium is a metal while Chlorine is a nonmetal, making this an ionic bond. Hope this helps and have a great day!
<span>Niels Henrik David Bohr is the scientist credited with developing the orbital model of the atom. He was Danish physicist who made foundational contributions to understanding atomic structure and quantum theory. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1922</span>
For this item, we find first the mass of the compound with the empirical formula. That is,
molar mass = 12 (for C) + 1 (for H)
= 13 g/mole
Then, we divide the given mass of the molecular formula by the mass of the empirical formula.
n = 52.07 / 13 = 4
Therefore, the molecular formula is C₄H₄.
