I’m not to sure but let me figure it out hold up
Hello, I would like to help you, but I really don't understand the question
Answer:
2Li(s) + 2H₂O(ℓ) ⟶ 2Li⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) + H₂(g)
Explanation:
An ionic equation uses the symbols (aq) [aqueous] to indicate molecules and ions that are soluble in water, (s) [solid] to indicate insoluble solids, and (ℓ) to indicate substances (usually water) in the liquid state.
In this reaction, solid lithium reacts with liquid water to form soluble lithium hydroxide and gaseous hydrogen
.
1. Molecular equation
2Li(s) + 2H₂O(ℓ) ⟶ 2LiOH(aq) + H₂(g)
2. Ionic equation
Lithium hydroxide is a soluble ionic compound, so we write it as hydrated ions.
2Li(s) + 2H₂O(ℓ) ⟶ 2Li⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻(aq) + H₂(g)
Valence electrons form bonds to create molecules and compounds because A. they are weaker than the electrons found closer to the nucleus.
A better way of saying it is that the valence electrons are <em>less strongly attracted</em> to the nucleus.
All electrons have the same size, but the <em>orbitals</em> they occupy have different sizes.
Considering you should look and not touch in museums... A.
