Most nonmetals are found at the top right of the periodic table. The exception is hydrogen, which is usually placed at the top left with the alkali metals.

Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bond that occurs when the atom of a metal definitively gives up one or more electrons to the atom of a nonmetal or hydrogen.

A covalent bond is one in which the atoms of chemical elements share their electrons in order to be stable. Covalent bonding is a type of chemical bond that occurs between hydrogen atoms and nonmetals.

With this in mind...

Lithium (Li) and Oxygen (O) - Li is a metal and Oxygen a nonmetal, so ionic bond.

Chlorine (Cl) and Fluorine (F) - Cl is a nonmetal and Fluorine is a nonmetal, so covalent bond.

Calcium (Ca) and Sulfur (S) - Calcium is a metal and Sulfur is a nonmetal, so ionic bond.

Answer: Lithium (Li) and Oxygen (O) - ionic bond.

Chlorine (Cl) and Fluorine (F) - covalent bond.

Calcium (Ca) and Sulfur (S) - ionic bond.

The _______ of an atom are negatively charged. a. protons b. negatrons c. neutrons d. electrons
PIT_PIT [208]
Protons = +1
negatrons = -1
neutrons = 0
<span>electrons = -1
</span>
<span>negatrons are like positrons and they are subatomic particles and are not present in atoms 
</span>
so electrons are negatively charged and are present in atoms 

hope that helps

Refer to the Chemical Compounds table above. How many total elements are in<br> Ethanol?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

3 element i.e carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Subtance >>>>>>>> Chemical Formula

Glucose >>>>>>>>> C₆H₁₂O₆

Methane >>>>>>>> CH₄

Ethanol >>>>>>>>> C₂H₅OH

Hydrogen peroxide >> H₂O₂

From the above table, we can see that ethanol (C₂H₅OH) contains carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen

Therefore, the total number of elements present in ethanol, C₂H₅OH is 3.
