Answer:
A
Explanation:
Noble gases are already stable
And since Argon is a noble gas it is stable
Bonds are forces of attractions between atoms formed by the transfer of electrons or sharing of electrons. Metallic bond is a type bond that exist in metallic structures where the atoms of the metals attracts the sea of electrons in the structure.It is these metallic bonds that results to the malleability , ductility and conductivity of metals because in that the sea of electrons makes them conduct electricity. In addition the atoms of metals in the structure are ions which can slide past each other in the sea of electrons.
In an aqueous solution of lithium chloride (LiCl), the ions present in solution are lithium cations (Li+) and chloride anions (Cl-), and the water molecules (H2O).
Lithium chloride is an ionic salt, and therefore, fully dissociates or ionizes upon dissolution in water. From the chemical formula of lithium chloride, we can say that 1 lithium ion (positively-charged) only needs 1 chloride ion (negatively charged) to form the salt. Thus, upon dissociation of 1 molecule of LiCl, only 1 lithium ion, and 1 chloride ion form.
Water is a molecule formed by covalent bonds and <u>generally</u>, does not dissociate to form ions. However, if we consider the very minor contribution of the dissociation of water, hydroxide (OH-) ions and hydronium (H3O+) ions will also be present. However for water, very few molecules, only 1 in 550 million, are dissociated at any given time. Thus, we can consider the presence of the OH- and H3O+ ions to be negligible and just identify the molecular undissociated form of water to be present.
