Explanation:
Lithium is an electropositive element that readily loses electrons.
Oxygen is electronegative and it will readily accept electrons.
Due to this significant electronegativity differences between the two species they form electrovalent or ionic bonds between them.
2atoms of Li lose two electrons:
Li → Li²⁺ + e⁻
Lithium isoelectronic with helium
For oxygen;
O + 2e⁻ → O²⁻
Oxygen is isoelectronic with Neon
Two ions of the lithium combines with the oxygen to form the bond;
4Li + O₂ → 2Li₂O
The electrostatic attraction between the two ions forms the ionic bond

B. Bleach and sea water should be identified as bases
Explanation:
- The pH scale measures the acidic or basic nature of a substance.
- Ranges from 0 to 14.
- If pH is lower than 7 → the solution is an acid.
- If pH is more than 7 → the solution is an basic or alkaline.
- If a pH is a 7 it is neutral.
In the given question, the pH scale measures for bleach is 8 and for sea water it is 13. So, bleach is basic, not neutral and Sea water is basic too instead of acid. So, Bleach and sea water should be identified as bases.
Can you show me the atoms please? I would be able to help.
Unlike nuclear reactions, nuclear reactions are not affected by changes in temperature,
pressure, of the presence of catalysts. Also nuclear reactions of given radioisotope cannot be slowed down, speeded up, or stopped.
