Answer: The chemical formula for the compound of lithium and oxygen will be $Li_2O$

Explanation:

Ionic bond is defined as the bond which is formed when complete transfer of electrons takes place from one atom to another atom.

Lithium is the 3rd element of the periodic table with electronic configuration of $1s^22s^1$

This element looses 1 electron and shows an oxidation state of +1.

Oxygen is the 8th element of the periodic table with electronic configuration $1s^22s^22p^4$

This element will gain 2 electrons and shows an oxidation state of -2.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of oxygen becomes the coefficient of lithium and that of lithium becomes of oxygen.

Hence, the chemical formula for the compound obtained by the combination of lithium and oxygen is $Li_2O$

A characteristic feature of any form of chromatography is the ________.a. calculation of an Rf value for the molecules separated

podryga [215]

Answer : The correct option is, (c) use of a mobile and a stationary phase.

Explanation :

Chromatography : It is a separation process or technique of a mixture in which a mixture is distributed between the two phases at different rates, one of which is stationary phase and another is mobile phase.

Mobile phase : The mixture is dissolved in a solution is known as mobile phase.

Stationary phase : It is an adsorbent medium and It is a solid, liquid or gel that remains immovable when a liquid or a gas moves over the surface of adsorbent. It remains stationary.

Hence, a characteristic feature of any form of chromatography is the use of a mobile and a stationary phase.

Please help with my chemistry homework! : Fuel burns in a car engine. Describe how oxides of nitrogen are produced in a car engi

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Your statement is right.

Explanation:

When fuels are burned in vehicle engines, high temperatures are produced. At this high temperature, nitrogen and oxygen from the air combine with each other to produce nitrogen monoxide (NO). When this nitrogen monoxide is released in the air from vehicle exhaust systems, it combines with oxygen present in the air to form nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
