Direct electron transfer from a a singlet reduced species to a triplet oxidizing species is quantum-mechanically forbidden.
<h3><u>Transfer from singlet to triplet:</u></h3>
- Either an excited singlet state or an excited triplet state will occur when an electron in a molecule with a singlet ground state is stimulated (through radiation absorption) to a higher energy level.
- All electron spins in a molecule electronic state known as a singlet are coupled.
- In other words, the ground state electron and the stimulated electron's spin are still coupled (a pair of electrons in the same energy level must have opposite spins, per the Pauli exclusion principle).
- The excited electron and ground state electron are parallel in a triplet state because they are no longer coupled (same spin).
- It is less likely that a triplet state would arise when the molecule absorbs radiation since excitation to a triplet state necessitates an additional "forbidden" spin transfer.

Not sure how in depth or what level of particles but I will go as deep as I know. The matter that makes up the world is comprised of 12 particles which are known as fermions. There are 12 fermions which are made up of 6 quarks (up, charm, top, Down, Strange, Bottom) 3 electrons (electron, muon, tau) and three neutrinos (e, muon, tau). Technically, only the up quark, down quark, electron, and electron neutrino are necessary to create all known matter since others would simply be very unstable and decay into those particles. The other type of particles are known as Bosons. These particles transmit forces and all sorts of different interactions. I have included a photo from online which describes the main characteristics of each elementary particle.
From the equation,
4 mole of lithium produces 2 mole of lithium oxide
4.37 mol of lithium produces (4.37÷4)x2 mol of lithium oxide
The correct answer is high temperature solids
