Chlorophyll captures the sun's energy and is used as energy to complete the photosynthesis process
<span><span>When you write down the electronic configuration of bromine and sodium, you get this
Na:
Br: </span></span>
<span><span />So here we the know the valence electrons for each;</span>
<span><span>Na: (2e)
Br: (7e, you don't count for the d orbitals)
Then, once you know this, you can deduce how many bonds each can do and you discover that bromine can do one bond since he has one electron missing in his p orbital, but that weirdly, since the s orbital of sodium is full and thus, should not make any bond.
However, it is possible for sodium to come in an excited state in wich he will have sent one of its electrons on an higher shell to have this valence configuration:</span></span>
<span><span /></span><span><span>
</span>where here now it has two lonely valence electrons, one on the s and the other on the p, so that it can do a total of two bonds.</span><span>That's why bromine and sodium can form </span>

The balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows;
2LiOH + H₂SO₄ ---> Li₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of base to acid is 2:1
Number of OH⁻ moles reacted = number of H⁺ moles reacted at neutralisation
Number of LiOH moles reacted = 0.400 M / 1000 mL/L x 20.0 mL = 0.008 mol
number of H₂SO₄ moles reacted - 0.008 mol /2 = 0.004 mol
Number of H₂SO₄ moles in 1 L - 0.500 M
This means that 0.500 mol in 1 L solution
Therefore 0.004 mol in - 1/0.500 x 0.004 = 0.008 L
therefore volume of acid required = 8 mL
