Why is the Lithium ion (Li+1) stable even though it does not have an octet?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Elan Coil [88]3 years ago
6 0
I think Lithium, an alkali metal with three electrons, is also an exception to the octet rule. Lithium tends to lose one electron to take on the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas, helium, leaving it with two valence electrons. There are two ways in which atoms can satisfy the octet rule

Consider the following reversible reaction.
andriy [413]

Answer:

No one is correct. The correct expression is:

Keq = [H₂]²  . [O₂]² / [H₂O]²

Explanation:

To build the Keq expression in a chemical equilibrium you must consider the molar concentrations of reactants / products, and they must be elevated to the stoichiometric coefficient.

The balance reaction is:

<u>2</u> H₂O (g)  ⇄  <u>2</u> H₂ (g)  +  O₂ (g)

Keq = [H₂]²  . [O₂]  / [H₂O]²

In opposite side: <u>2</u> H₂ (g)  +  O₂ (g)   ⇄  <u>2</u> H₂O (g)

Keq =  [H₂O]² / [H₂]²  . [O₂]

Flammability is a material’s ability to burn in the presence of
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Flammability is a material’s ability to burn in the presence of <u><em>oxygen.</em></u>

Explanation:

Flammability can be described as the ability of a substance to get ignited. Flammability will lead to fire or combustion. Some substances are highly flammable like Benzene. Other tend to be just flammable. And there are also compounds which will nor be flammable at all as they won't react with oxygen. Examples of these substances include helium, steel or glass.

The flammability of a substance shall be considered a very important aspect when storing or transporting a substance.

list 10 chemical reactions that have benefited your life today. Include the reasons you think each was indeed a chemical reactio
Dennis_Churaev [7]

1) The overall balanced photosynthesis reaction:  

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.

Plants convert solar energy into the chemical energy of sugars (food).

2) Chemical reaction of cellular respiration:  

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O.

Organic carbon (glucose) is transformed into inorganic carbon (carbon dioxide) that goes into atmosphere.

3) Gasoline combustion:

C₈H₁₈ + 25/2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 9H₂O.

Gasoline is a mixture of many different hydrocarbons: alkanes (paraffins), cycloalkanes and alkenes (olefins).

Gasoline is being burn.

4) Balanced chemical reaction of forming rust: 4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃.

Forming rust usually last for few months and iron changing in another substance with different properties.

5) An electrochemical cell (voltaic or galvanic cell) is generating electrical energy from chemical reactions.  

In galvanic cell, specie (for example zinc and zinc cations) from one half-cell, lose electrons (oxidation) and species from the other half-cell (for example copper and copper cations) gain electrons (reduction).  

Oxidation on the zinc anode: Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.

Reduction on the copper cathode: Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu(s).

Copper is forming from the solution, that is chemical change.

6) Balanced chemical reaction: CaO + H₂O → Ca(OH)₂.

Making limewater  (diluted solution of calcium hydroxide).

7) Neutralization is reaction in which an acid and a base react quantitatively with each other. In this reaction, there are no acids and bases, only salts.

Balanced chemical reaction of vinegar and antacid:

2CH₃COOH(aq) + Mg(OH)₂(aq) → (CH₃COO)₂Mg(s) + 2H₂O(l).

Precipation is formed.

8) Balanced chemical reaction of magnesium and hydrochloric acid:

MgO + 2HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂O(g).

Acid dissolves metal oxides.

9) Chemical reaction of silver in air:

4Ag + 2H₂S + O₂ → 2Ag₂S (tarnish) + 2H₂O.

Silver change color in the air.

10) Forming of patina: 2CuO + CO₂ + H₂O → Cu₂CO₃(OH)₂.

Brass (copper) change color to green.
