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

An unknown amount of mercury (II) oxide was decomposed in the lab. Mercury metal was formed and 5.20 L of oxygen was released at
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

  • <u>68.3g</u>

Explanation:

<u>1. Word equation:</u>

  • <em>mercury(II) oxide → mercury + oxygen </em>

<u>2. Balanced molecular equation:</u>

  • 2HgO → 2Hg + O₂(g)

<u>3. Mole ratio</u>

Write the ratio of the coefficients of the substances that are object of the problem:

       2molHgO/1molO_2

<u>4. Calculate the number of moles of O₂(g)</u>

Use the equation for ideal gases:

          pV=nRT\\\\\\n=\dfrac{pV}{RT}\\\\\\n=\dfrac{0.970atm\times5.20L}{0.08206atm.L/K.mol\times 390.0K}\\\\\\n=0.1576mol

<u>5. Calculate the number of moles of HgO</u>

         \dfrac{2molHgO}{1molO_2}\times 0.1576molO_2=0.315molHgO

<u>6. Convert to mass</u>

  • mass = # moles × molar mass

  • molar mass of HgO: 216.591g/mol

  • mass = 0.315mol × 216.591g/mol = 68.3g

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

This is because in the graph shown line A has a quite greater impact of refraction than line B .

Hence, we can conclude that line A has the greater reaction at a faster rate.

A fusion reaction always creates which of the following?
ICE Princess25 [194]

A fusion reaction can be regarded as the type of reaction that occurs where two lighter elements come together in a type of reaction giving rise to a heavier/more massive element.

A fusion reaction always creates a more massive atomic nucleus (option c).

When the two lighter nuclei comes together in a reaction, a more heavier/massive nucleus is formed but its mass will still be less than the combined mass of the two reactant nuclei.

This also indicates that the left over mass may have been released as energy.
