उत्तर
| Element | Atomic mass | Percentage | Relative number of moles | Simplest mole ratio | Whole number ratio |
| N | 14 | 42 | 42/14 = 3 | 3/3 = 1 | 1 |
| O | 16 | 48 | 48/16 = 3 | 3/3 = 1 | 1 |
| H | 1 | 9 | 9/1 = 9 | 9/3 = 3 | 3 |
So the empirical formula of the compound is NH2OH.

In a compound of magnesium (Mg = 24) and nitrogen (N = 14), 18 g of magnesium combines with 7g of nitrogen.
Deduce the simplest formula by answering the following questions:
- How many gram-atoms of magnesium are equal to 18g?
- How many gram-atoms of nitrogen are equal to 7g of nitrogen?
- Calculate the simple ratio of gram-atoms of magnesium to gram-atoms of nitrogen and hence the simplest formula of the compound formed.
