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.
hit the crown for me pls :)
Have a great day
LiF or lithium fluoride is the non covalent molecule or ionic compound.
Option 3.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
Covalent molecules are those molecules which do have actual bonds between the atoms present in the molecule by sharing of the electrons. But in ionic molecules, there's no actual bonds between the atoms, but the oppositely charged ions are attracted towards each other by means of electrostatic force of attraction.
The molecules that are formed by the atoms with high electronegativity and electropositivity are actually ionic because the atoms with high electronegativity are able to actually gain electron readily and the atoms with high electropositivity are actually ready to give the electrons to the electronegative elements.
Lithium is highly electropositive and fluoride is highly electronegative. So they establish an ionic bond. But other molecules like fluorine molecule has both the electronegative elements, Carbon monoxide has carbon which isn't electropositive highly, and ammonia has hydrogen which isn't electropositive.
So lithium fluoride is the ionic compound.
Answer:
Explanation:
We are given the formula:
This is a molecular formula, because it contains nonmetals.
1. Name the first element
The first element is phosphorous (P). Since this is the first element and there is only one, we don't need a prefix.
2. Second element
The second element is chlorine (Cl). It has a subscript of 5, so we must add the prefix of <u>hepta</u>-.
- Phosphorous heptachlorine
Add the ending of -ide.
- Phosphorous heptachloride
The prefix used for the second element is hepta. The compound name is phosphorous heptachloride.
