Atomic Number of Lithium is 3, so it has 3 electrons in its neutral state. Also, Li₂ will have 6 electrons. But the chemical formula we are given has a negative charge on it (i.e Li₂⁻) so there is an additional electron (RED) present on this compound. So, the total number of electrons are 7. The MOT diagram for this compound is shown below. According to diagram we are having 4 electrons in Bonding Molecular Orbitals (BMO) and 3 electrons in Anti-Bonding Molecular Orbitals (ABMO). Bond Order is calculated as,

              Bond Order  =  (# of e⁻s in BMO - # of e⁻s in ABMO) ÷ 2

              Bond Order  =  (4 - 3) ÷ 2

              Bond Order  =  1 ÷ 2
Or,
              Bond Order  =  1/2
Or,
              Bond Order  =  0.5

Why can’t you see the stars very well at night like you could 50 years ago
Elenna [48]

Answer:Artificial light from cities has created a permanent "skyglow" at night, obscuring our view of the stars. Here's their map of artificial sky brightness in North America, represented as a ratio of "natural" nighttime sky brightness. In the black areas, the natural night sky is still (mostly) visible.

As you were climbing a a mountain, you noticed that rocks were crumbling below your feet and moving down the mountain. What two
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Weathering and erosion

Explanation:

Weathering can be explained as the breaking down of rocks/minerals on the surface of the Earth as a result of contact with biological organism, water, air and other factors

. There are 3 common types of weathering which are;

1) physical weathering

2) biological weathering

3) chemical weathering

Erosion can be regarded as a geological process, whereby earthen material are been transported away by natural forces, these forces could be wind as well as water.

Therefore, as you were climbing a a mountain, you noticed that rocks were crumbling below your feet and moving down the mountain. What is observed are weathering and erosion processes.

After the weakening and broken up of the rock by weathering then erosion transport the bit of the rock down the mountain as you are climbing, which means the "weathering process" breakdown and the "erosion process" involves the transport or movement of the bit of the rocks

Which of the following best describes an orbital?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

a) a space in an atom where an electron is most likely to be found

Explanation:

Atomic orbital is the mathematical function which describes wave-like behavior of the electrons present in the atom.

It is used to calculate probability of finding the electron of the atom in any  region around nucleus of the atom. Atomic orbital is the physical region or a three dimensional space where the probability of finding the electron is more than 90% which also means that the space where an electron is most likely to be found. They are boundless space and have definite energy.

Option A best describes atomic orbital.
