Answer: lithium fluoride

Explanation: Lithium atom has oxidation number of +1.

Electronic configuration of lithium:

[Li]:3:1s^22s^1

Lithium atom will loose one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form lithium cation with +1 charge.

[Li^+]:2:1s^2

Fluorine atom has oxidation number of -1.

Electronic configuration of fluorine:

[F]:9:1s^22s^22p^5

Flourine atom will gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form fluoride ion with -1 charge.

[F^-]:10:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

In lithium fluoride the one electron from lithium metal gets transferred to fluorine atom to form LiF.

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive ion is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

Hence, the name of LiF is lithium fluoride.

Lithium is the metal and fluorine is the electron acceptor, so lithium fluoride.

does the amount of work to required to move a charge in an electric field depend on the path taken or just the potential differe
Romashka [77]

Answer: No

Explanation:

The work done is not path-dependent but only dependent on the final and initial position of the charge, that is the difference between the end points.

What kind of circuit is the one shown below?
vovikov84 [41]

That's a <em>parallel</em> circuit. <em>(B)</em>

When current from Point-A reaches the 3-way intersection just to the right of Point-B, it has to make a choice:  Either turn left, go through B, and light the lower bulb, or go straight and light the upper bulb.

A circuit that has any "decision" points in it is a parallel circuit.  What happens in the real world is:  The current splits up.  Some of the current that reaches the intersection turns left toward Point-B, and the rest of it goes straight up.

A series circuit is one in which there's only one possible path all the way around.  There are no intersections of more than 2 roads, and no electron ever has to decide which way to flow.

An open circuit is one in which there's a break somewhere along the line and electrons can't jump across it.  It's like a railroad where a big piece is cut out of the track somewhere.  So no trains can travel on that route, and there's no current flowing anywhere in the circuit.

I'm not so sure about a "combination" circuit.  I guess you could give that name to a complicated circuit that has some series parts and some parallel-parts.  Personally, I'd call that a "series-parallel" circuit.  But it really doesn't matter right now.  Whatever the word means, the circuit in the picture is definitely not a "combination" circuit.

Differentiate between Amplitude, wavelength and frequency in a Transverse wave.
s2008m [1.1K]
Two physical characteristics of a wave are amplitude and wavelength. The amplitude of a wave is the height of a wave as measured from the highest point on the wave (peak or crest) to the lowest point on the wave (trough). Wavelength refers to the length of a wave from one peak to the next.
