Answer:True

Explanation: An anion has a larger radius than a neutral atom because it gains valence electrons. There are added electron/electron repulsions in the valence shell that expand the size of the electron cloud, which results in a larger radius for the anion.

The empirical formula of styrene is CH; its molar mass is 104.1 g/mol. What is the molecular formula of styrene?

Natalija [7]

You got the answer correct. If you would double check
given:C (12 g/mol) H (1 g/mol).

12(8) + 1(8) = 104 g/mol

and for C2H4
12(2)+1(4) = 28g/mol

Also, chemical formula of styrene is<span> C6H5CH=CH2.</span>
