Answer:

Explanation:

Helium (He) is similar in that it, too, only has room for two electrons in its only valence shell. Hydrogen and helium have only one electron shell.

pochemuha

Answer:

CuFeS2

Explanation:

Calculate the moles of each substance by doing moles= mass/relative atomic mass. you should get 0.25 moles of copper and iron and 0.5 moles of sulfur. Then divide all of those numbers by 0.25 (as its the lowest value) you should get 1 for copper and iron and 2 for sulfur. This represents the ratio that they are in within the mineral.
