Answer:
Any kind, as long as there is an action.
Atomic Number of Lithium is 3, so it has 3 electrons in its neutral state. Also, Li₂ will have 6 electrons. But the chemical formula we are given has a negative charge on it (i.e Li₂⁻) so there is an additional electron (RED) present on this compound. So, the total number of electrons are 7. The
MOT diagram for this compound is shown below. According to diagram we are having 4 electrons in Bonding Molecular Orbitals (
BMO) and 3 electrons in Anti-Bonding Molecular Orbitals (
ABMO). Bond Order is calculated as,
Bond Order = (# of e⁻s in BMO - # of e⁻s in ABMO) ÷ 2
Bond Order = (4 - 3) ÷ 2
Bond Order = 1 ÷ 2
Or,
Bond Order = 1/2Or,
Bond Order = 0.5
- Endothermic reaction means the reactant side takes heat from surrounding and get decomposed i.e ∆H=-ve
- If the equation is exothermic then it means the reactant is happy to decompose .But it's not as it's endothermic
Now
- HgO is Omitted from our solution option.
Hg is a atom so no bonds hence no bond strength occurs.
- O_2 is a molecule and so it's our answer .
