<u>Answer:</u> The correct statement is electrons are transferred from the lithium atom to the chlorine atom.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ionic bond is defined as the bond which is formed from the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom. The atom which looses electrons is known as electropositive atom and it attains positive charge. The atom which gains electrons is known as electronegative atom and it attains negative charge.

Lithium is the 3rd element of the periodic table. The electronic configuration of this element is 1s^22s^1

This element will loose 1 electron to attain stable electronic configuration to attain +1 oxidation state.

Chlorine is the 17th element of the periodic table. The electronic configuration of this element is 1s^22s^22p^63s^22p^3

This element requires 1 electron to attain stable electronic configuration to attain -1 oxidation state.

Hence, electrons are transferred from the lithium atom to the chlorine atom.

Answer:

4) 1.5 mol

Explanation:

Well, the equation is already balanced and the mole to mole ratio of reactants and products are all 1. So if the limiting reactant is HCl and you have 1.5 mol, you do the mole to mole ratio with NaCl and since it is 1 to 1, there'd be 1.5 mol of NaCl.
