The molecular formula of the compound that we are required to find is the compound C4H8O8

<h3>What is empirical formula?</h3>

The empirical formula of a compound is a formula that shows the ratio of each atom present in the compound. We will start by dividing each mass with the relative atomic mass of the atom.

Carbon - 48.38 g/12 Hydrogen - 6.74 g/1 Oxygen - 53.5 g/16

Carbon - 4 Hydrogen - 6.74 Oxygen - 8.9

Dividing through by the lowest ratio;

Carbon - 4/4 Hydrogen - 6.74/4 Oxygen 8.9/4

Carbon 1 Hydrogen 2 Oxygen 2

The empirical formula is CH2O2.

To obtain the molecular formula; brainly.com/question/11588623

[12 + 2 + 32]n = 180

n = 180/[12 + 2 + 32]

n =4

The compound C4H8O8

Methane can be decomposed into two simpler substances: hydrogen and carbon. Therefore, methane 1. is a gas. 2. cannot be an elem

Reika [66]

Answer: 2. cannot be an element.

Explanation:

Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.It can not be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions.Example: Copper $Cu$

Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.It can be decomposed into simpler constituents using chemical reactions. Example: methane $CH_4$

$CH_4\rightarrow C+2H_2$

Thus as it can be decomposed into its constituent elements, it is a compound.

Mixture is a substance which has two or more components which do not combine chemically and do not have any fixed ratio in which they are present.

Thus methane cannot be an element.

What is the relationship between metals and the number of electrons in the outer level?

gayaneshka [121]

Elements in group 1-2, 13-18, the number of valence electrons is related to the group number. For example, in the first group, the alkali metals there is one valence electron, however in group 13, there are 3 valence electrons. Valence electrons are also known as the outershell electrons.
