Answer:

Explanation:

Chloride is described as an extended structure because its atoms are arranged following an endless repeating pattern and are of distinct ratio

Crystals and polymers mostly form extended structures as seen in the formation of sodium chloride whereby the ions in the compound are arranged following a repeating pattern. ( i.e. has a giant ionic structure ).

Chloride is a considered an extended structure because in sodium chloride it forms an unending repeated pattern of ions which makes it a perfect example of an extended structure.

Hence we can conclude that Chloride can be described as an extended structure because its atoms are arranged following a repeating pattern and are of distinct ratio.

The empirical formula of a compound is determined to be CH2O, and its molecular mass is found to be 90.087 g/mol. Determine the molecular formula of the compound, showing your solution.

Answer: This is actually quite simple, first we have to calculate the molar mass of empirical unit. Therefore we have 12+2*1+16 = 30. Then we solve 90/30 = 3. Finally we end up with 3*(CH2O) --> C3H6O3.
