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.

Which of the following is a typical property of an ionic compound
Zarrin [17]
Ionic compounds typically have high melting and boiling points, and are hard and brittle. As solids they are almost always electrically insulating, but when melted or dissolved they become highly conductive, because the ions are mobilized

Due to the small and highly electronegative nature of fluorine, the oxyacids of the this element are much less common and less s
steposvetlana [31]
We are told we have an oxyacid of the formula HOFO. We will assume the atoms are in this order and will draw a proper lewis structure for this compound by first drawing bonds between each of the 4 atoms and then place the remaining electron pairs on each atom:
      ..    ..    ..
H - O - F - O:
      ··   ··    ··
We can calculate the formal charge of an atom using the following formula:

Formal charge = [# of valence electrons] - [# of non-bonded electrons + # of bonds]

H: Formal charge = [1]-[0+1] = 0

O: Formal charge = [6]-[4+2] = 0

F: Formal charge = [7]-[4+2] = +1

O: Formal charge = [6]-[6+1] = -1

As we can see the overall charge of the molecule is neutral since the fluorine as a +1 charge and the oxygen a -1 charge.

"Conservation of energy" refers to the fact that _____.
Agata [3.3K]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy, it is known that energy can neither be created nor it can be destroyed.

But energy can be changed from one form to another.

Whereas entropy is the degree of randomness present within the molecules of a substance or object.

For example, gas molecules are able to move rapidly so, they have more entropy as compared to solid and liquid substances.

According to second law of thermodynamics, entropy of the system is always increasing.

Thus, we can conclude that "Conservation of energy" refers to the fact that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.
