Attraction between a cation in one element and an anion in the other element
Statement B is true because atoms are single particles that come together to form compounds and molecules.
LiF or lithium fluoride is the non covalent molecule or ionic compound.
Option 3.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
Covalent molecules are those molecules which do have actual bonds between the atoms present in the molecule by sharing of the electrons. But in ionic molecules, there's no actual bonds between the atoms, but the oppositely charged ions are attracted towards each other by means of electrostatic force of attraction.
The molecules that are formed by the atoms with high electronegativity and electropositivity are actually ionic because the atoms with high electronegativity are able to actually gain electron readily and the atoms with high electropositivity are actually ready to give the electrons to the electronegative elements.
Lithium is highly electropositive and fluoride is highly electronegative. So they establish an ionic bond. But other molecules like fluorine molecule has both the electronegative elements, Carbon monoxide has carbon which isn't electropositive highly, and ammonia has hydrogen which isn't electropositive.
So lithium fluoride is the ionic compound.
Answer: The issue of long-term effects of the Chernobyl disaster on civilians is very controversial. The number of people whose lives were affected by the disaster is sizable. Over 300,000 people were resettled because of the disaster; millions lived and continue to live in the contaminated area.
Explanation:
an atom will gain or lose electrons to obtain 8 electrons in it's outer shell. In other words, elements want to reach an electron configuration of the nearest noble gas.
