Lithium has 1 valence electron available for bonding. So its A.

The answer is A. 1, because lithium has only one valence electron. A valence electron is an unpaired electron available for bonding with other elements. This makes lithium is a highly reactive element that can bond rapidly and often violently with any element having four to seven valence electrons (or with hydrogen).

In a chemical equation, which symbol should be used to indicate that a substance is in solution?

lisov135 [29]

Example :

$2FeCl_3_{(aq)}+2KI_{(aq)}=2FeCl2_{(aq)}+2KCl_{(aq)}+I_2_{(s)}$

If you use the subscript (aq) (=aquaris) , this means that the substance is in a solution.

Subscripts:
-aq-this means that the substance is in a solution
-s-this means that the substance is a solid(or precipitate)
-l-this means that the substance is a liquid
-g-this means that the subtance is a gas

Consider the reaction cl2(g) + i2(g) <=> 2 icl(g), which is endothermic as written. what would be the effect on the equili

bogdanovich [222]

The given equilibrium reaction is,

$Cl_{2}(g)+I_{2}(g)+Heat2ICl(g)$

According to Le Chatelier's principle states that when a system in equilibrium is disturbed by varying conditions like concentration, pressure, and temperature of the system, the system tries to counter act the affect by shifting the equilibrium towards the required side.

When $Cl_{2}$ is removed from the system, the concentration of chlorine ( $Cl_{2}$ ) decreases, the equilibrium is disturbed. So, the system tries to re-establish the equilibrium by moving in that direction which produces more of chlorine, that is towards the reactant side.

The correct answer would be: 1. reaction would go to the left, making more "reactants"
