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.

at a certain pressure the density of superficial carbon dioxide is 0.469. what is the mass of a 25.0 mL sample of supercritical
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{11.7 g}}

Explanation:

\text{Mass} = \text{25.0 mL} \times \dfrac{\text{0.469 g}}{\text{1 mL}} = \textbf{11.7 g}\\\\\text{The mass of the carbon dioxide is $\large \boxed{\textbf{11.7 g}}$}

Sidana [21]

What did Dalton's atomic theory contribute to science?

Dalton's atomic theory proposed that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks. While all atoms of an element were identical, different elements had atoms of differing size and mass.
