LiF or lithium fluoride is the non covalent molecule or ionic compound.

Option 3.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Covalent molecules are those molecules which do have actual bonds between the atoms present in the molecule by sharing of the electrons. But in ionic molecules, there's no actual bonds between the atoms, but the oppositely charged ions are attracted towards each other by means of electrostatic force of attraction.

The molecules that are formed by the atoms with high electronegativity and electropositivity are actually ionic because the atoms with high electronegativity are able to actually gain electron readily and the atoms with high electropositivity are actually ready to give the electrons to the electronegative elements.

Lithium is highly electropositive and fluoride is highly electronegative. So they establish an ionic bond. But other molecules like fluorine molecule has both the electronegative elements, Carbon monoxide has carbon which isn't electropositive highly, and ammonia has hydrogen which isn't electropositive.

So lithium fluoride is the ionic compound.

Calculate the energy (in kj/mol) required to remove the electron in the ground state for each of the following one-electron spec

Bess [88]

Explanation:

$E_n=-13.6\times \frac{Z^2}{n^2}ev$

where,

$E_n$ = energy of $n^{th}$ orbit

n = number of orbit

a) Energy change due to transition from n = 1 to n = ∞ ,hydrogen atom .

Z = 1

Energy of n = 1 in an hydrogen like atom:

$E_1=-13.6\times \frac{1^2}{1^2}eV=-13.6 eV$

Energy of n = ∞ in an hydrogen like atom:

$E_{\infty}=-13.6\times \frac{1^2}{(\infty)^2}eV=0$

Let energy change be E for 1 atom.

$E=E_{\infty}-E_1=0-(-13.6 eV)=13.6 eV$

$1 mole = 6.022\times 10^{-23}$

Energy for 1 mole = E'

$E'=6.022\times 10^{-23} mol^{-1}\times 13.6 eV$

$1 eV=1.60218\times 10^{-22} kJ$

$E'=6.022\times 10^{23}\times 13.6 \times 1.60218\times 10^{-22} kJ/mol$

$E'=1,312.17 kJ/mol$

Energy of n = ∞ in an hydrogen like atom:

$E_{\infty}=-13.6\times \frac{5^2}{(\infty)^2}eV=0$

Energy of n = ∞ in an hydrogen like atom:

$E_{\infty}=-13.6\times \frac{3^2}{(\infty)^2}eV=0$

Let energy change be E.

$E=E_{\infty}-E_1=0-(-122.4 eV)=122.4 eV$

An aqueous sodium acetate, NaC2H3O2 , solution is made by dissolving 0.395 mol NaC2H3O2 in 0.505 kg of water. Calculate the mola

liq [111]

<u>Answer:</u> The molality of $NaC_2H_3O_2$ solution is 0.782 m

<u>Explanation:</u>

Molality is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per kilogram of solvent. The units of molarity are mol/kg. The formula used to calculate molality:

$\text{Molality of solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Mass of solvent (in kg)}}$ .....(1)

Given values:

Moles of $NaC_2H_3O_2$ = 0.395 mol

Mass of solvent (water) = 0.505 kg

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Molality of }NaC_2H_3O_2=\frac{0.395mol}{0.505kg}\\\\\text{Molality of }NaC_2H_3O_2=0.782m$

Hence, the molality of $NaC_2H_3O_2$ solution is 0.782 m

What causes attraction and repulsion between atoms?

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Repulsive forces exist only when atoms are very close to each other. (3/14) "They [the atoms] will approach until both nuclei will simply shove each other because both of them are positive." The balance between the attraction and repulsion forces determines how close the atoms can get. The relationships between the magnitude and direction of repulsive and attractive forces. A stable state of a bond is when attractive forces balance repulsion forces. “A stable state between two atoms is when they attract each other with a force that equals the force that they repel each other.”
