Answer:

The answer to your question is Ionic bonding.

Explanation:

There are three main types of bonding:

- Ionic bonding is when a metal attaches to a nonmetal and the electronegativity is higher than 1.7.

- Covalent bonding is when a non metal attaches to another non metal. and the electronegativity is between 0 and 1.7.

- Metallic bonding is a bond between metals.

In this question, we have      Lithium plus fluorine

Formula                                               LiF    

In this compound there a metal and a nonmetal

Electronegativity    Fluorine = 3.98     Lithium = 0.98

Difference of electronegativity =  3.98 - 0.98 = 3.0

                                             3.0 > 1.7

Then we conclude that the bond is Ionic.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Answer: Hyperoxic alligators show significantly lower breathing rates than their siblings in normoxic and hypoxic groups. Conversely, each breath supports greater oxygen consumption in hyperoxic animals than in other groups. Statistical significance between groups was calculated by ANOVA with post hoc Tukey-Kramer

Why can’t an atom lose or gain a proton
Veronika [31]

Explanation:

Atoms never gain protons; they become positively charge only by losing electrons. A positive ion is called a cation (pronounced: CAT-eye-on). You may have notice that the number of neutrons in each of these ions was not specified.

Would the water in a pond or the water in a full bathtub have more thermal energy? Explain why.
Mekhanik [1.2K]
Thermal energy is defined as the total kinetic energy of all particles in an object. Even though the cup of water has a higher temperature, the bathtub has more thermal energy because it contains much more mass of water compared to the cup.

I don’t know the answers to these pls help
stepladder [879]

Answer:

4. Option C. Pentane.

5. Option D.

Explanation:

4. Hydrocarbons are compound containing carbon and hydrogen only. Hydrocarbons are said to be saturated when they contain only carbon to carbon single bond. All alkanes are saturated hydrocarbon.

The correct answer is pentane.

5. Isomerism is the phenomenon whereby two or more compounds have the same molecular formula but different structural patterns. The compounds involved are called isomers.

A careful observation of the diagram above shows that only option D satisfied the definition of Isomerism as the two compound both have the same molecular formula as C3H8O but different structural patterns.

Note: option C does not contain isomers as Isomerism can not occur in a compound having just 1 carbon atom.
