Ionic is the answer. This is because lithium has a positive charge, while chlorine has a negative charge, meaning the compound doesn’t necessarily have an overall charge.
Answer:
Answer: (b) F
Explanation:
Sodium has 1, magnesium has 2 and Aluminium has 3 electrons in its outermost shell whereas Fluorine has 7 electrons in its outermost shell hence Fluorine does not lose electrons easily.
The electronic configuration of fluorine is 2,7.
Fluorine is the ninth element with a total of 9 electrons.
The first two electrons will go in the 1s orbital.
The next 2 electrons for F go in the 2s orbital.
The remaining five electrons will go in the 2p orbital. Therefore the F electron configuration will be 1s22s22p5.
Ionic compounds. because when in solid form they are held firmly in place therefore they cannot move to conduct electric current.
Mercury-199 is composed of 80 protons, 119 neutrons, and 80 electrons.
