Answer:

Option A. 1:1

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Li => 1s² 2s¹

Cl => 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²2p⁵

Lithium (Li) will form compound with Cl by losing 1 electron as shown below:

Li —> Li⁺ + e¯ ..... (1)

Cl on the other hand will accept 1 electron from Li to form the chloride ion, Cl¯ as shown below:

Cl + e¯ —> Cl¯ ...... (2)

Combining equation 1 and 2, we have:

Li + Cl + e¯ —> Li⁺ + Cl¯ +

Cancel e¯ from both side

Li + Cl —> Li⁺Cl¯

Thus, the ratio of metallic cation (+) to non-metallic anion (-) in the compound is 1:1

Hund's rule states that electrons must spread out within a given subshell before they can pair
Temka [501]

Answer:

Groups 14, 15, and 16 have 2,3, and 4 electrons in the p sublevel (p sublevel has 3 "spaces" AKA orbitals), because Hunds says one in each orbital before doubling up if you had 2 electrons, group 14, they would both be in the first orbital, with 3 electrons, group 15, two in the first orbital one in the 2nd none in the 3rd. With 4 electrons, group 16, then you would have 2 in the first 2 orbitals and NONE in the 3rd.

Explanation:

If you are in group 13 you only have 1 electron so it can only be in one orbital. with group 17, you have 5 electrons, so 2 in the first 2 in the second and 1 in the 3rd, correct for Hunds rule anyway. Noble gasses, group 18, have 6 elecctrons, so every orbital is full any way you look at it.

Is ninhydren test positive for protein?
lyudmila [28]
The Ninhydrin test is not effective to detect high molecular weight proteins as the steric hindrance limits the ninhydrin from reaching the α-amino groups.

Melting and boiling point of water is high?​
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Why melting and boiling point of water is high?

The reason for the high melting and boiling temperatures is the hydrogen bonding between water molecules that causes them to stick together and to resist being pulled apart which is what happens when ice melts and water boils to become a gas

The formula ca(no3)2 tells us that one formula unit of this compound is composed of ________ calcium atoms, ________ nitrogen at
ad-work [718]

Answer:- The formula Ca(NO_3)_2 tells us that one formula unit of this compound is composed of one calcium atom, two nitrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms.

Explanations:- Subscripts tell us about the number of atoms of the element for which they are used. For example, here the subscript of Ca is one, it means there is one calcium atom in the given one formula unit.

When we have subscripts inside and outside the parenthesis then they are multiplied and the outside subscript is considered for all the atoms present inside the parenthesis.

Here, for the given chemical formula, the subscript of N is 1 and the subscript present outside is 2. So, 1 x 2 = 2 and for oxygen, 3 x 2 = 6

So, we have one calcium atom, two nitrogen atoms and six oxygen atoms for one formula unit of given compound.

What type of substance contains more than one kind of element joined by chemical bonds?
Usimov [2.4K]

<span>The answer is compound.  Elements are composed of one kind of atoms bonded together. There are different types of compounds: ionic, complexes, molecular, and intermetallic compounds. The proportion of elements in the compound is expressed using a chemical formula. An example of an element is Aluminium while an example of a compound is H2S (Hydrogen sulfide).</span>
