Why a lithium atom forms a + 1 ion and an oxygen atom forms -2 ion? Please really urgent thanks

Chemistry
1 answer:
ahrayia [7]2 years ago
4 0
Lithium forms a +1 ion because it loses one electron, making the ratio of electrons:protons unbalanced by losing one electron. the ratio is now 2e:3p.

Oxygen forms a -2 ion because of a different reason. It gains 2 electrons rather than losing them.

What is the concentration of kl solution if 20.68g of solute was added to enough water to form 100ml solution?
rewona [7]

Answer:

1.25 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of KI (solute): 20.68 g

Volume of the solution: 100 mL (0.100 L)

Step 2: Calculate the moles of solute

The molar mass of KI is 166.00 g/mol.

20.68 g × 1 mol/166.00 g = 0.1246 mol

Step 3: Calculate the molar concentration of KI

Molarity is equal to the moles of solute divided by the liters of solution.

M = 0.1246 mol/0.100 L= 1.25 M

What causes some aqueous solutions to have a low PH?
noname [10]
<span> Low pH means the solution is acidic; if the solution is acidic, that means that there are hydronium ions in solution (H3O+). For example, hydrochloric acid dissolves into H+ ions and Cl- ions, and the H+ ions rreact with water like this:
H+ + H2O --> H3O+

If you want to get mathematical, pH is defined as the negative log of the concentration of hydronium ions.
Thus, if there are a lot of hydronium ions, the solution will have a low, or acidic, pH.  Hope this helps^-^</span>

Does SiF4 have polar covalent bonds?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

SiF4 is not a polar covalent bond.

Explanation:

SiF4 is a nonpolar molecule because the fluorine's are arranged around the central silicon atom in a tetrahedral molecule with all of the regions of negative charge cancelling each other out.
