Respuesta :
Hg₂Cl₂, HgCl is correctly pairs the chemical and empirical formulas.
What are chemical/molecular formulas and empirical formulas?
- Chemical formula, also known as molecular formula, is the actual formula of the compound depicting the exact ratio of atoms of elements present in the compound.
- The empirical formula depicts the lowest whole number ratio of atoms of elements present in a compound.
- To check the correct empirical formula for the given molecular formula, we divide the ratio of atoms of each element in the molecular formula by the smallest available amount of atom to obtain a smallest whole no. ratio formula.
- On dividing Hg[tex]_{2}[/tex]Cl[tex]_{2}[/tex] by the smallest available ratio of 2, we get its empirical formula to be HgCl.
So option Hg[tex]_{2}[/tex]Cl[tex]_{2}[/tex], HgCl is correct.
