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 $Li_2O$

Answer:

An atom is made of up subatomic particles called protons, neutrons and electrons. The center of an atom is called the nucleus and is where the protons and neutrons are held while electrons orbit the nucleus in orbital shells. A electron has a negative charge, a proton has a positive charge, and a neutron has no charge (neutral).

The atomic number of a atom is the total amount of the atom's protons. In a neutral atom (Not an ion), the amount of electrons is the same as the protons. Therefore, the atomic number also tells the amount of electrons in the atom.

A ion is a negatively or positively charged particle due to the giving or taking of electrons with one or more atoms (Called an ionic bond). An atom that gives away electrons becomes positively charge because that atom now has more protons than neutrons. An atom that takes an electron becomes negatively charge because that atom now has more electrons than protons.

Atomic Mass is the sum of an atom proton and neutrons. To determine how many neutron an atom has, subtract the atomic mass from the atomic number. Electrons do not play a part in atomic mass as their mass is 1/1,836 of a proton's mass.

A isotope is two or more forms of the same element that contain equal amounts of protons but different amount of neutrons.

Answer: I have no idea what kind of question this is, but I'm assuming it's a true or false question, and this is true. Although the north-bound pole is south-seeking, a compass would eventually draw you to the North Pole.

Find the density of an 8 gram rock if the water in a graduated cylinder rises from 25.0 mL to

Olin [163]

To measure the density of the stone placed in a graduated cylinder let us follow these steps bellow

Measure the volume of water poured into a graduated cylinder
Place the object in the water and remeasure the volume.
The difference between the two volume measurements is the volume of the object.
Divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density of the object.

We know that the formula for density is given as

Given data

Mass = 8gram

Initial Volume of water in cylinder = 25mL

Final Volume of water in cylinder = 29mL

Hence the volume of the rock = 29-25 = 4mL

Therefore the density of the rock = 8/4 = 2 g/mL
