Answer:

Fluorine

Explanation:

Fluorine has an atomic number of 9

Iron's is 26

Phosphorus = 15

Potassium = 19

Fluorine has the smallest number of protons, and as it is an atom, the number of protons = the number of electrons. As it has less electrons, it only has 2 shells, whereas all the other elements here have 3+ shells. This means it will have a smaller atomic radius than them.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)

N=1 shell contains 2 electrons.
n=2 shell contains 5 electrons.
n=2 is the outermost shell. Therefore there were 5 electrons before sharing.
6 electrons are being shared between 2 nitrogen atoms.
Pair of electrons form a covalent bond. Therefore 3 pair of electrons will form 3 bonds.

Amount of copper= mass / molar mass = 17/64=0.2656
According to the balance equation, amount of hydrogen gas : amount of copper = 1:1
Therefore amount of hydrogen gas is 1:1
Thus mass of hydrogen gas is molar mass x mol= 1 x 0.2656= 0.266g

Whats 0.06 in scientific notations

melomori [17]

Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimalplaces you move will be the exponent on the 10 . If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.

The empirical formula of pyrogallol is C2H2O. Its molar mass is 126 g mol-1. What is the molecular formula?C4H4O2C2H6O3C6H6O3C2H

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The molecular formula of pyrogallol is: C6H6O3

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Empirical formula of pyrogallol is C2H2O

Molar mass of pyrogallol = 126 g/mol

Molar mass of Carbon (C) = 12 g/mol

Molar mass of hydrogen (H) = 1.01 g/mol

Molar mass of oxygen (O) = 16 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate molar mass of the empirical formula

2*12 + 2*1+ 16 = 42 g/mol

Step 3: Calculate the molecular formula

To find the molecular formule , we should multiply the empirical formula by n

n can be found by dividing molar mass of pyrogallol by the molar mass of the empirical formula

n = 126 g/mol / 42 g/mol ≈ 3

We should mulitply the empirica lformula by 3

3*(C2H2O) gives C6H6O3

if we calculate the molar mass now:

6*12 +6*1 + 3*16 = 126 g/mol

The molecular formula of pyrogallol is: C6H6O3
