The smallest particle of a covalently bonded compound is an atom.
I believe the answer is D. The atmosphere, different layers of the atmosphere can help in different ways! The stratosphere helps protect us from the sun's rays; The Mesophere is what helps protect us from meteorites! It's so cold that they burn up in that area.
Answer: it would be a 1 to 1 ratio
Explanation: originally it would be 2 to 2 but you have to reduce
Answer: P2O5 is the empirical formula.
Explanation: When given percentages you can assume that many grams of each atom are in the compound. Then you divide grams by the molar mass of each element, giving you moles. Once you have moles, divide by the smaller molar amount, which should give you 1 mol of Phosphorus and 2.5 mol of Oxygen. Then multiply by 2 in order for both moles to be a whole number. This gets you 2 and 5.
