Moles of P = 56,4g/30,974g/mole = 1,82 moles P
moles of O = 43,6/15,999 = 2,73 moles of O
converting to the simplest ratio:
For P : 1,82/1,82 = 1
For O : 2,73/1,82 = 1,5
1 P and 2 oxygens.
PO2 -> the empirical formula
hope this help
The full decimal is 2.59328...
When you round up the answer is 2.6 atoms of Li
I believe it would be the first option. It forms iron oxide (rust) when exposed to moisture and air.
Answer:
In a Lewis symbol, the symbol for the element is used to represent the atom and its core electrons. Dots placed around the atom are used to indicate the valence electrons. ... In 1916, Gilbert Newton Lewis, an American chemist, suggested that molecules were formed when atoms shared pairs of outer electrons.
