Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of lithium is 3 and electrons in its shell are distributed as 2, 1. Atomic number of chlorine is 17 and electrons in its shell are distributed as 2, 8, 7.

Thus, we can see that lithium has 1 extra electron and chlorine has deficiency of 1 electron. Therefore, in order to gain stability lithium will transfer its 1 extra electron to chlorine atom.

Thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from the lithium atom to the chlorine atom.

How many hydrogen atoms are present in .46 moles of NH3
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

2.78 x 10²³

Explanation:

1 mole contains 6.02 x 10²³ hydrogen atoms => 0.46 mole contains 0.46(6.02 x 10²³) hydrogen atoms or 2.78 x 10²³ atoms.

Caution => When to use H vs H₂ => This problem is specific for 'hydrogen atoms' but some may simply say hydrogen. In such cases use H₂ or 'molecular hydrogen' is the focus. it's a matter of semantics, H vs H₂.

Convert 90.23 kPa into atm
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>0.89 atm </h2>

Explanation:

To convert from kPa to atm we use the conversion

101.325 kPa = 1 atm

If

101.325 kPa = 1 atm

Then

90.23 kPa will be

\frac{90.23}{101.325}  \\  =0.89050086...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.89 atm</h3>

Hope this helps you
