<span>The number of electrons in an atom's outermost valence shell governs its bonding behavior.
In N</span>₂, three electrons are being shared by each nitrogen atom, making a total of 6 shared electrons.
In CCl₄, 4 electrons are being shared by each carbon atom and 1 electron is being shared by each chlorine atom
In SiO₂, 4 electrons are being shared by each silicon atom and 2 electrons are being shared by each oxygen atom.
In AlCl₃, 3 electrons are being shared by each aluminum atom and 1 electron is being shared by each Cl atom
In CaCl₂, 2 electrons are lost by the calcium atom and 1 electron is gained by each chlorine atom
In LiBr, 1 electron is lost by the lithium atom and 1 electron is gained by the bromine atom
<u>Answer:</u> The empirical and molecular formula of the compound is
and
respectively
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given:
Mass of C = 3.758 g
Mass of H = 0.316 g
Mass of O = 1.251 g
To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:
- <u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.
Moles of Carbon =
Moles of Hydrogen = 
Moles of Oxygen = 
- <u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.
For the mole ratio, we divide each value of the moles by the smallest number of moles calculated which is 0.078 moles.
For Carbon = 
For Hydrogen = 
For Oxygen = 
- <u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.
The ratio of C : H : O = 4 : 4 : 1
The empirical formula for the given compound is 
For determining the molecular formula, we need to determine the valency which is multiplied by each element to get the molecular formula.
The equation used to calculate the valency is:

We are given:
Mass of molecular formula = 130 g/mol
Mass of empirical formula = 68 g/mol
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Multiplying this valency by the subscript of every element of empirical formula, we get:

Hence, the empirical and molecular formula of the compound is
and
respectively
Answer:
Pb^+7
Explanation:
I placed the carrot there to signify the +7 is supposed to be small. It is plus seven because seven nuetrons are added
