Answer:
Explanation:
Group one elements are alkali metals. All alkali metal have one valance electron. They loses their one valance electron and from cation with charge of +1.
Charges on group one.
Hydrogen = +1
Lithium = +1
Sodium = +1
Potassium = +1
Rubidium = +1
Cesium = +1
Francium = +1
Group two elements are alkaline earth metals. All alkaline earth metal have two valance electron. They loses their two valance electron and from cation with charge of +2.
Charges on group two.
Beryllium = +2
Magnesium = +2
Calcium = +2
Strontium = +2
Barium= +2
Radium = +2
Group 13 elements are boron family. All elements have three valance electrons. They loses their three valance electron and from cation with charge of +3.
Charges on group 13.
Boron = +3
Aluminium = +3
Gallium = +3
Indium = +3
Thallium= +3
Group 13 elements are also shows +1 charge by losing one valance electron.
The empirical formula is N₂O₅.
The empirical formula is the <em>simplest whole-number ratio of atoms</em> in a compound.
The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles, so our job is to calculate the <em>molar ratio of N:O</em>.
I like to summarize the calculations in a table.
<u>Element</u> <u>Moles</u> <u>Ratio¹ </u> <u> ×2² </u> <u>Integers</u>³
N 1.85 1 2 2
O 4.63 2.503 5.005 5
¹To get the molar ratio, you divide each number of moles by the smallest number (1.85).
²Multiply these values by a number (2) that makes the numbers in the ratio close to integers.
³Round off the number in the ratio to integers (2 and 5).
The empirical formula is N₂O₅.
