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.

Consider the following precipitation reaction (balanced). precipitation reaction: 2NH4Br(aq)+Pb(C2H3O2)2(aq)⟶2NH4C2H3O2(aq)+PbBr
sweet [91]

Answer:

Pb2+ (aq) & 2Br- (aq) --> PbBr2 (s).

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

Pb(C2H32O2)2 (aq) + 2 NH4Br (aq) --> 2NH4C2H3O2 (aq) + PbBr2 (s)

Ionic equation:

Pb+2(aq) + 2(C2H3O2)-1 (aq) + 2(NH4+) (aq) + 2Br-1 (aq) --> 2(NH4+) (aq) + 2(C2H3O2-) (aq) + PbBr2 (s)

2(NH4)+1(aq) & 2(C2H3O2)-1 (aq) cancel out from both sides, you are left with the net ionic equation :

Pb2+ (aq) & 2Br- (aq) --> PbBr2 (s).

Carbon exists in nature as three isotopes. Given the atomic masses and relative abundance of the isotopes, what is the average a
Ivan

The most abundant carbon isotope is carbon-12.

The relative atomic mass of carbon is 12.011, which is extremely close to 12.0. This means that the masses C-13, and C-14 are practically negligible when contributing to the relative atomic mass of carbon.

the C-12 isotope makes up 98.9% of carbon atoms, C-13 makes up 1.1% of carbon atoms, and C-14 makes up just a trace of carbon atoms as they are found in nature.
