Answer :  The percent abundance of Li isotope-1 and Li isotope-2 is, 6.94 % and 93.1 % respectively.

Explanation :

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i   .....(1)

Let the fractional abundance of Li isotope-1 be 'x' and the fractional abundance of Li isotope-2 will be '100-x'

For Li isotope-1 :

Mass of Li isotope-1 = 6.01512 amu

Fractional abundance of Li isotope-1 = x

For Li isotope-2 :

Mass of Li isotope-2 = 7.01600 amu

Fractional abundance of Li isotope-2 = 100-x

Average atomic mass of Li = 6.941 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

6.941=[(6.01512\times x)+(7.01600\times (100-x))]

By solving the term 'x', we get:

x=694.048

Percent abundance of Li isotope-1 = \frac{694.048}{100}=6.94\%

Percent abundance of Li isotope-2 = 100 - x = 100-6.94 = 93.1 %

Which of the following pair of elements could not react to form an ionic compound
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

c and o

Explanation:

Carbon and Oxygen cannot react to form an ionic compound because the two elements are non-metals.

  • To form an ionic bond, a metal combines with a non-metal through electrostatic attraction of oppositely charged ions.
  • This leads the bond formation.
  • Carbon is a non-metal, with oxygen, they will prefer to form a covalent bond where they share their electrons
