When an ionic bond forms between lithium (Li) and fluorine (F), which of the following occurs?
2 answers:
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:
It loses one electron that is gained by the fluorine to form lithium fluoride, LiF.
Best regards.

CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O
From the equation, we know that methane and carbon dioxide have the same number of moles.
no. of moles of CO₂ produced = no. of moles of methane
= 4.5 × 10⁻³ ÷ (12 + 1×4)
= 2.8125 × 10⁻⁴
∴ mass of CO₂ = 2.8125 × 10⁻⁴ × (12 + 16×2)
= 12.375 × 10⁻³ g
