Answer:

Option A. Li2O

Explanation:

To know which of the compound contains oppositely charged ions, let us determine the nature of each compound. This is illustrated below:

Li2O is an ionic compound as it contains a metal (Lithium, Li) and non metal (oxygen, O). Ionic compounds are charactized by the presence of aggregate positive and negative charge ions. This is true because they are formed by the transfer of electron(s) from the metallic atom to the non-metallic atom.

2Li —> 2Li^+ + 2e

O2 + 2e —> O^2-

2Li + O2 + 2e —> 2Li^+ + O^2- + 2e

2Li + O2 —> 2Li^+ O^2- —> Li2O

OF2 is a covalent compound as it contains non metals only (i.e oxygen, O and fluorine, F). Covalent compounds are characterised by the presence of molecules. This is true because they are formed from the sharing of electron(s) between the atoms involved.

PH3 is a covalent compound as it contains non metals only (i.e phosphorus, P and hydrogen, H).

SCl2 is a covalent compound as it contains non metals only (i.e sulphur, S and chlorine, Cl).

From the above information, we can see that only Li2O contains oppositely charged ions.

An ion's position vector is initially r with arrow = 7.0i hat â 7.0j + 1.0k, and 5.0 s later it is r with arrow = 7.0i hat + 7.0

harkovskaia [24]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Shown in the explanation

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Position vector of a particle at a given instant is given by:

$\vec{r}=x\hat{i}+y\hat{j}+z\hat{k}$

On the other hand, the average velocity is the change in the particle’s position vector divided by time interval:

$\vec{v}=\frac{\Delta \vec{r}}{\Delta t}=\frac{\vec{r_{2}}-\vec{r_{1}} }{t_{2}-t_{1}} \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ \\ \vec{r_{1}}: Initial \ position \\ \\ \vec{r_{2}}: Final \ position \\ \\ t_{1}:Initial \ time \\ \\ t_{2}:Final \ time$

So we have:

$\vec{r_{1}}=7\hat{i}+7\hat{j}+1\hat{k} \\ \\ \vec{r_{2}}=7\hat{i}+7\hat{j}+8\hat{k} \\ \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ \Delta \vec{r} = \vec{r_{2}}-\vec{r_{1}}=7\hat{i}+7\hat{j}+8\hat{k}-(7\hat{i}+7\hat{j}+1\hat{k}) \\ \\ \Delta \vec{r}=7\hat{k} \\ \\ \\ We \ also \ know: \\ \\ \Delta t=5s$

Finally, the average velocity is:

$\vec{v}=\frac{\Delta \vec{r}}{\Delta t} \\ \\ \\ \vec{v}=\frac{7\hat{k}}{5} \\ \\ \boxed{\vec{v}=\frac{7}{5}\hat{k} \ units/s}$

what are some challenges of scuba diving and how do pressure variations in depth affect our ability to explore the ocean?

sergiy2304 [10]

Pressure variations affect our ability to explore by limiting how deep we can go. this reason is because as we go deeper in the ocean the pressure increases and can crush you if you go deep enough.

What contributes the most to food waste in America

Kay [80]

According to the USDA, 40% of our food worth $161 billion is not even harvested, lost in processing, thrown away in restaurants and homes or ended up rotting in America’s landfills. It is also reported that 50% of the produce is never consumed.

Disparities in food distribution and availability imply that numerous communities and neighborhoods have very constrained access to fresh affordable food. Also, a significant number of those with a bounty of food choose to toss it rather than donate it.

Another type of food waste comes from produce discarded by millions of backyard cultivators due to their gardens producing far more fruits and vegetables than they might use, preserve or give to friends and neighbours.
