Answer:
Lithium metals reacts slowly with water to form a colourless solution of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is exothermic, but the reaction is slower than that of sodium (immediately below lithium in the periodic table).
Explanation:
Answer:
Ionic bond
Explanation:
When the electronegativity between the two atoms is very large (usually greater than 2.1), this can lead to total transfer of electron from the higher electronegative atom to the lower one.
The total transfer of electrons leads to the formation of ionic bond.
When acid and base solutions react, they produce water and a neutral ionic compound called a salt. The reaction is called a neutralization reaction.
