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 $Li_2O$

Explain how lithium atom is positive charge

yulyashka [42]

Lithium is an element that has an electronic configuration of 2,1. So when forming bonds, it tries to release one of its electrons in the last shell to reach the octet state. Normally when atoms release electrons they get positive charge since the number of protons which bear positive charge, is higher than number of electrons which bear negative charge. So when reaching its octet state, lithium gains positive charge!

Hope this helps! Tbh am not good at explaining. If u have any doubts, ask me!

Summarize: Complete the following statements:

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Taking into account the definition of Avogadro's Number, the correct answers are:

1 mole of any element contains 6.023×10²³ atoms

1 mole of any compound contains 6.023×10²³ molecules

You have to know that Avogadro's Number or Avogadro's Constant is called the number of particles that make up a substance (usually atoms or molecules) and that can be found in the amount of one mole of said substance. Its value is 6.023×10²³ particles per mole.

Avogadro's number represents a quantity without an associated physical dimension, so it is considered a pure number that allows describing a physical characteristic without an explicit dimension or unit of expression.

Avogadro's number applies to any substance, because the number of elementary units in a mole of a substance is, by definition, a constant that does not depend on the material or the type of particle considered.

So, in this case, the correct answers are:

1 mole of any element contains 6.023×10²³ atoms

1 mole of any compound contains 6.023×10²³ molecules
