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
I believe it would be 1.660539040 × 10−24 gram.
When we wish to convert a gas to liquid we have to either
a) decrease temperature
b) increase pressure
In case of fire extinguisher the CO2 is found to be in liquid state, this is as the CO2 is pressurized at high pressure which keeps CO2 in liquid state
the ideal pressure and temperature conditions when CO2 gas can be converted to CO2 gas
Pressure = 5 - 73 atm
Temperature = -57 to 31 degree Celsius
It would be one electron in the outermost shell. Hope this helps!
Yes molecules are tightly together. Hope this helps
