<span>Lithium atoms have one valence electron, where as oxygen atoms have six. Lithium atoms tend to give up their single valence electrons, and oxygen tends to gain two valence electrons from other atoms, like lithium. They do this so they will have filled valence shells.  hope this answers your question :)</span>

Lithium is located in group 1 period 2 and oxygen is located in group 16 period 2. These two elements might combine to form a compound because of their oxidation state. Oxygen needs 2 electrons to be stable while lithium is willing to give away 2 electrons to become stable as well.

What is the hybridization of the C atoms in C2Cl4 ?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

sp2

Explanation:

Orbital hybridization is defined as the changes in the orbitals of atoms when they pair with electrons of other atoms to form chemical bonds.

C atoms in C2Cl4 or tetrachloroethene have a total of three bond pairs, two with each chlorine atom and one with other carbon atom and zero lone pairs. Thus, C atoms in C2Cl4 is  sp2 hybridized.

Hence, the correct answer is "sp2".

How many moles of copper are present in a sample of tennantite with a mass of 2290 grams?
grin007 [14]

Answer:

               18.58 moles of Cu

Solution:

Data Given:

                  Chemical Formula of Tennantite  =  Cu₁₂As₄S₁₃

                  Mass of Cu₁₂As₄S₁₃  =  2290 g

                  M.Mass of Cu₁₂As₄S₁₃  =  1479.06 g.mol⁻¹

Step 1: Calculate Moles of Cu₁₂As₄S₁₃ as,

                               Moles  =  Mass ÷ M.Mass

Putting values,

                               Moles  =  2290 g ÷ 1479.06 g.mol⁻¹

                                Moles  =  1.548 mol

Step 2: Calculate Moles of Cu,

As,

                         1 mole of Cu₁₂As₄S₁₃ contains  =  12 moles of Cu

So,

               1.548 mol of Cu₁₂As₄S₁₃ will contain  =  X moles of Cu

Solving for X,

                     X  =  (1.548 mol × 12 mol) ÷ 1 mol

                     X  =  18.58 moles of Cu

What do the electrons do in a Valteic cell
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

In redox reactions, electrons are transferred from one species to another. If the reaction is spontaneous, energy is released, which can then be used to do useful work. To harness this energy, the reaction must be split into two separate half reactions: the oxidation and reduction reactions.
