I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The pair of elements that is most likely to chemically combine and form ionic bonds would be <span>lithium and chlorine. Lithium is metal and chlorine is nonmetal which as a compound forms ionic bonds. Hope this answers the question.</span>
Answer: In a metallic bond, each metal atom is surrounded by lots of other metal atoms, and they all share their valence electrons. When two oxygen atoms bond, they become a molecule and don't interact much with other molecules.

Answer:
3.0 moles Al₂O₃
Explanation:
We do not know which of the reactants is the limiting reactant. Therefore, you need to convert both of the given mole values into the product. This can be done using the mole-to-mole ratio made up of the balanced equation coefficients.
4 Al + 3 O₂ -----> 2 Al₂O₃
6.0 moles Al 2 moles Al₂O₃
---------------------- x ------------------------- = 3.0 moles Al₂O₃
4 moles Al
4.0 moles O₂ 2 moles Al₂O₃
---------------------- x ------------------------- = 2.7 moles Al₂O₃
3 moles O₂
As you can see, O₂ produces the smaller amount of product. This means O₂ is the limiting reactant. Remember, the limiting reactant is the reactant which runs out before the other reactant(s) are completely reacted. As such, the actual amount of Al₂O₃ produced is 2.7 moles.
However, since this problem is directly addressing how much Al₂O₃ is produced from Al, the answer you most likely are looking for is 3.0 moles Al₂O₃.
<span>You can compare the strength of the hydrogen bonding by comparing the electronegativities of the other elements. All the four elements, Br, F, Cl and I belong to the same group in the periodic table: group 17 named halogens. Then the kind of bonding they form is similar: polar covalent. You must know the trend of the electronegativities in the periodic table. Electronegativity decrease when you down across a group. Then the electronegativity of F is the higher of the group (indeed, it is the highest of all the 118 elements) . The higher the electronegativity the stronger the attraction that the halogen attracts the electrons and the stronger the hydorgen bonding. Then, the conclusion is that HF has the strongest hydrogen bonding. </span>
