Answer:

Lithium loses one electron to fluorine and forms ionic bond, having formula LiF.

Explanation:

Lithium is the element of the group 1 and period 2 which means that the valence electronic configuration is [He]2s^1.

Fluorine is the element of the group 17 and period 2 which means that the valence electronic configuration is [He]2s^22p^5.

<u>Thus, lithium loses 1 electron and become positively charged. Fluorine on the other hand accepts this electron and become negatively charged.</u> This is done in order that the octet of the atoms are complete.  <u>These both ions then form ionic bond as their will be electrostatic interaction between the two oppositely charged ions.</u>

Thus, the formula of calcium chloride is LiF.

If a buffer solution is 0.190 m in a weak acid (ka = 8.2 × 10-5) and 0.590 m in its conjugate base, what is the ph?\
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
<span>You use the Henderson - Hasselbalch equation pH = pKa + log ([salt]/[acid]) pKa = -log (8.2*10^-5) = 4.081 pH = 4.081 + (0.590/0.190) pH = 4.081 + log 3.105 pH = 4.081 + 0.49206 pH = 4.573</span>

1. Draw a wedge/dash structure for trans-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane.
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The structure with the ring flipped is the most stable

Explanation:

We have the  trans 1,2 - dimethylcyclohexane. With the wedge/dash structure we could not figure is this form is stable (If we do a comparison with the cis structure). But when we do a chair structure and ring flipped structure, this is easier to look.

The picture attached shows the structures, they are labeled as 1, 2 and 3, according to this problem.

In the chair structure, according to the picture below, you can see that both methyls are heading in the axial positions of the ring (One facing upward and the other downward). This is pretty stable, however, when the methyls are in those positions, the methyl position 1, can undergoes an 1,3 diaxial interactions with the hydrogens atoms (They are not drawn, but still are there), so this interaction makes this structure a little less stable that it can be.

On the other side, the ring flipped structure, we can see that both methyls are in the equatorials positions of the ring, and in these positions, it can avoid the 1,4 diaxial interactions with the hydrogens atoms, making this structure the most stable structure.

Hope this helps
