Answer:

F gains one electron.

Explanation:

Hello,

Due to the high electronegativity of the fluorine atom (approx 3.98), it tends to gain electrons rather than lose them. Now, as lithium has the following electron configuration:

$1s^22s^1$

It loses one electron that is gained by the fluorine to form lithium fluoride, LiF.

Best regards.

They don't share and both deal with only 1 electron.

Lithium gives away 1 electron.
F will receive that electron.

The chemical formula is LiF

Explain how impurities are selected for doping in group 14 semiconductors

aleksklad [387]

Impurities selection for doping in group 14 semiconductors is: based on their ability to add more holes and fewer electrons or to add more electrons and reduce the holes.

<h3>Meaning of Semiconductors</h3>

Semiconductors can be defined as any material that has the ability to exhibit some properties of a conductor and some properties of an insulator.

A semiconductor can be used as either a conductor or an insulator when worked upon.

In conclusion, Impurities selection for doping in group 14 semiconductors is: based on their ability to add more holes and fewer electrons or to add more electrons and reduce the holes.

Explain how water might have two different densities

MrMuchimi

Answer:

I think this is it

Water can have two different densities if it has substances dissolved in it. ... When liquid water freezes it becomes solid water or ice, which is less dense than liquid water. The fact that solid water (ice) is less dense than liquid water is evident in the way ice floats in a glass of water.

(a) Write the dissolution reaction for solid Na2CO3 below. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Include states-of-matter under

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

For a: The chemical equation for the dissolution of sodium carbonate is $Na_2CO_3(s)\rightarrow Na_2CO_3(aq.)$

For b: The net acid-base reaction is $CO_3^{2-}(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow OH^-(aq.)+HCO_3^-(aq.)$

Explanation:

For a:

Dissolution reaction is defined as the reaction in which a solid compound gets dissolved in water to form aqueous solution.

The chemical equation for the dissolution of sodium carbonate follows:

$Na_2CO_3(s)\rightarrow Na_2CO_3(aq.)$

Ionization reaction is defined as the reaction in which an ionic compound dissociates into its ions when dissolved in aqueous solution.

The chemical equation for the ionization of sodium carbonate follows:

$Na_2CO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 2Na^+(aq.)+CO_3^{3-}(aq.)$

For b:

Now, the anion formed which is $CO_3^{2-}$ reacts with water to form conjugate acid.

The chemical equation for the reaction of anion with water follows:

$CO_3^{2-}(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow OH^-(aq.)+HCO_3^-(aq.)$

Hence, the net acid-base reaction of the anion formed and water is written above.

what is Calcite's Solubility, I barely know what solubility mean let alone what it has to do with Calcite.

Ivahew [28]

Calcite can be either dissolved by groundwater or precipitated by groundwater, depending on several factors including the water temperature, pH, and dissolved ion concentrations. Although calcite is fairly insoluble in cold water, acidity can cause dissolution of calcite and release of carbon dioxide gas.
