What type of chemical bond would form between an atom of lithium (Li) and an atom of chlorine (Cl). Explain specifically why thi

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Explanation:

When a bond is formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another then it results in the formation of an ionic bond.

An ionic bond is generally formed by a metal and a non-metal.

For example, lithium is an alkali metal with atomic number 3 and its electronic distribution is 2, 1.

And, chlorine is a non-metal with atomic number 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7.

So, in order to complete their octet lithium needs to lose an electron and chlorine needs to gain an electron.

Hence, both of then on chemically combining together results in the formation of an ionic compound that is, lithium chloride (LiCl).

An ionic compound is formed by LiCl because lithium has donated its valence electron to the chlorine atom.

On the other hand, if a bond is formed by sharing of electrons between the two chemically combining atoms then it is known as a covalent bond.

For example, $O_{2}$ is a covalent compound as electrons are being shared by each oxygen atom.

Rank the following solutions in order of increasing acidity (least acidic to most acidic): I: [H3O+] = 1x10−5 II: [OH−] = 1x10−1

kozerog [31]

Answer: option C) II < III < I

i.e [OH−] < [H3O+] < I

Explanation:

First, obtain the pH value of I and II, then compare both with III.

For I

Recall that pH = -log (H+)

So pH3O = -log (H3O+)

= - log (1x10−5)

= 4

For II

pOH = - log(OH-)

= - log(1x10−10)

= 9

For III

pH = 6

Since, pH range from 1 to 14, with values below 7 to be acidic, 7 to be neutral, above 7 to be alkaline: then, 9 < 6 < 4

Thus, the following solutions from least acidic to most acidic is II < III < I

From goal line to goal line, a football field is 300 ft long. If a player catches the ball while standing on one goal line, runs

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The player ran 91.44m.

Explanation:

The problem gives you the total distance between goal line to goal line in feet, and the answer must be given in meters, so you should convert the distance the player run from ft to m, because the player run the same distance from goal line to goal line to scores the touchdown.

So, you should apply the following conversion factor:

$300ft*\frac{0.3048m}{1ft}= 91.44m$

The player ran 91.44m.
