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 $Li_2O$

How does the surface metabolism model of chemical evolution differ from the prebiotic soup model? see section 2.4 ( page 70) ?

evablogger [386]

The surface metabolism model evokes mineral catalysts. Surface metabolism model dissolved gases in contact with minerals lining the walls of the deep-sea hydrothermal vents and formed more complex, organic molecules while Prebiotic soup model is molecules in atmosphere or from meteorites condensed in the ocean which led to the formation of more complex molecules.
