(03.02 LC) Lithium has a 1+ charge, and oxygen has a 2− charge. A Lewis dot diagram should contain one lithium atom and two oxyg
en atoms to show how these atoms form an ionic bond. True False
2 answers:
Answer: The statement is false.
Explanation:
Atomic number of lithium is 3 and its electronic distribution is 2, 1. Therefore, lithium has only one electron to donate.
Whereas atomic number of oxygen is 8 and its electronic configuration is 2, 6.
So, oxygen needs two more electrons to complete its octet. Thus, two lithium atoms will donate each valence electron to an oxygen atom.
Hence, there will be two lithium atoms and one oxygen atom in a molecule of lithium oxide . Though there is sharing of electrons so the bond formed will be ionic bond.
Therefore, we can conclude that the statement a Lewis dot diagram should contain one lithium atom and two oxygen atoms to show how these atoms form an ionic bond is false.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>The reaction quotient (Q) : determine a reaction has reached equilibrium
For reaction :
aA+bB⇔cC+dD
Comparing Q with K( the equilibrium constant) :
K is the product of ions in an equilibrium saturated state
Q is the product of the ion ions from the reacting substance
Q <K = solution has not occurred precipitation, the ratio of the products to reactants is less than the ratio at equilibrium. The reaction moved to the right (products)
Q = Ksp = saturated solution, exactly the precipitate will occur, the system at equilibrium
Q> K = sediment solution, the ratio of the products to reactants is greater than the ratio at equilibrium. The reaction moved to the left (reactants)
Keq = 6.16 x 10⁻³
Q for reaction N₂O₄(0) ⇒ 2NO₂(g)
Setup 1 :
Q<K⇒The reaction moved to the right (products)
Setup 2 :
Q=K⇒the system at equilibrium
Setup 3 :
Q>K⇒The reaction moved to the left (reactants)
