A C and D are all correct, Helium and Hydrogen only have a 1s orbital, and helium has 2 protons, while hydrogen has 1, and finally Hydrogen has no neutrons while helium has 2. Helium does not however have 8 valence electrons as the 1s orbital can only hold 2, meaning B is the “correct” (false) answer.
The empirical formula gives the relative ratio of atoms in each element. Therefore, it simplifies the whole numbers. For example C2H6 can be reduced to CH3 because they share the greatest common factor (2). The answer to this question would be #1. C4H10 can be reduced to C2H5 because 4 and 10 are both divisible by 2. C2H5 can not be reduced any further. All of the other options do not have a greatest common factor making them a empirical formula.
Potential energy is the energy stored. What do u think it is? (I don't really know)
I think the answer is tenfold
hope this helps :)
