What type of bond would occur between lithium (Li) and oxygen (O)?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ghella [55]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

D. Ionic bond

Explanation:

First some definitions: ionic bonds always have metals that transfer electrons. Covalent bonds are between nonmetals that share electrons. (Sharing is caring!)

Li is a metal, so right off the bat we know this is not a covalent bond. However, it's not a metal, so we can cross off C as well. The phrase "paired bond" isn't common, so we know the answer must be D. ionic bond.

And in this bond, Li's electrons will transfer to O to make both have a full valence shell. (As opposed to covalent bonds, which share electrons, not transfer completely.)

Explain the difference between fixed and variable oxidation
dem82 [27]

Fixed vs Variable Oxidation is given below.

Explanation:

1.In its compounds, hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1, except. hydrides where the. oxidation number of hydrogen is -1. In their compounds, the metals with fixed oxidation states have the oxidation number that. corresponds with the fixed oxidation number.

A variable oxidation state is a value that determines the charge of the atom depending on certain conditions.

2. Ox­i­da­tion state of el­e­ments is con­sid­ered to be of the most im­por­tant in the study of chem­istry. For some el­e­ments, this fig­ure is con­stant known as fixed oxidation , while for oth­ers it is vari­able is called variable oxidation state.

3. MgCl2 :  magnesium is in Group IIA and all elements in Group IIA have fixed oxidation numbers of +2

FeCl2 :  iron has a variable oxidation number of either +2 or +3 and is not fixed
