Answer:

The answer to the question is explained below

Explanation:

A chemical is any substance or an element that can occur naturally or can be created artificially. Chemicals are found in many places like the soil, water, air. They can be found solely as an element without being combined with other elements, and they can also be found as a mixture in compounds.

Exposure to chemicals can be made possible through direct contact with the eye, broken skin. It can also be possible through Inhalation of gases, also through the mouth.

Long-term effects occur when an individual has been exposed to harmful chemicals over a long period of time, with the effect often fatal. Long-term exposure to chemicals include:

1. The weakening of the immune system

2. can cause cancer. For example, Carcinogens that cause cancer in humans, are gotten from exposures to Carbon Tetrachloride, Chloroform.

3. It can cause brain damage

4. It can lead to reproductive disorders

5. It can lead to eye damage, skin problems, and respiratory problems

Short-term effects occur when an individual has been exposed to harmful chemicals accidentally, or within a short period of time. As such, depending on the type of chemical, the amount the individual is exposed to, the effect is usually less fatal and can be addressed. Short-term exposure to chemicals include:

1. Skin or eye irritation

2. Headache

3. Nausea

4. Cough

5. Dizziness

6. Physical injuries

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

There would be three Lithium atoms per one Nitrogen atom.

Li3N (Lithium Nitride)

Explanation:

Group 15 elements usually have 5 valence electrons, and every atom wants to have a full valence shell of valence electrons. So, nitrogen can get three electrons from each Lithium atom in order to get a full octet.
