Give a theoretical reason why lithium and oxygen combine in the ratio 2:1

Chemistry

V125BC [204]4 years ago
4 0
Lithium is in the first column of the periodic table and thus can only form one bond with another atom (its ion is Li+)

Oxygen can form two bonds (as in the dioxygen O2).

Hence if you conbine Li and O it has to be Li2O.

Why is the melting point of hydrogen flourine abnormally higher than other halogen acids.​
Tems11 [23]

"The other halogens are not as electronegative and so other hydrogen halides cannot form hydrogen bonds between molecules. Only London Forces are formed. - Therefore more energy is required to break the intermolecular forces in HF than the other hydrogen halides and so it has a higher boiling point."

not a hack link, just stating where i got your answer from! -
