<span>Answer:
Connect the atoms with single bonds. The less electronegative is the phosphorous atom. Hence, the P atom is going to be the central atom. Recall that electronegativity decreases as we move away from the fluorine atom in the periodic chart.

Answer:
Pb oxidation number is +2
C in CH4 is -4. H is +1. 4H + 1C = 0. ; 4(+1) + C = 0 ; C = -4
O is usually -2. 3O = 3(-2) = -6. ; 2Fe =. +6 ; each Fe is +3
2Ag = +2 since O = -2 ; each Ag = +1
Answer:
mass/13of molecules .........
Data: molar mass 470 g/mol
Percent composition:
Hg = 85.0%
Cl = 15.0%
Solution:
1) Convert % to molar ratios
A. Base: 100 g
=> Hg = 85.0 g / 200.59 g/mol = 0.4235 mol
Cl = 15.0 g / 35.45 g/mol = 0.4231 mol
B. divide by the higher number and round to whole number
Hg = 0.4325 / 0.4231 = 1.00
Cl = 0.4231 / 0.4231 = 1.00
=> Empirical formula = Hg Cl
2) Find the mass of the empirical formula:
HgCl: 200.59 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol = 236.04
3) Determine how many times is the empirical mass contained in the molecular mass:
470 g/mol / 236.04 = 1.99 ≈ 2
=> Molecular formula = Hg2 Cl2.
Answers:
Empirical formula HgCl
Molecular Formula Hg2Cl2
