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

1 answer:

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
Hope this helps pls mark as the brainliest answer

Why do atoms become anion and cations (remember the octet rule and how 8 is a very important number)?

Kryger [21]

Answer:

The atoms become cations because they have lost electrons and the atoms and has a positive charge then atoms become a ions because they have gained electrons from cations and has a negative charge

A gas cylinder contains 2.5 atm of ne, 0.8 atm of co2, and 3.4 atm of ar. what is the total pressure in the cylinder? g

Tatiana [17]

To answer this problem, we must make assumptions for simplicity. The first assumption is that, the system only consist of these 3 gases. The second assumption is that, these gases behave ideally. Thus, from Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure, the total pressure is simply the sum of their individual partial pressures.

Total pressure = 2.5 + 0.8 + 3.4 = <em>6.7 atm</em>

T/F___ At the eutectic composition, an alloy can solidify at a constant temperature.___ For effective dispersion strengthening,

azamat

Answer:

TRUE
FALSE
TRUE
FALSE
FALSE
TRUE

Explanation:

At the eutectic composition, an alloy can solidify at a constant temperature : TRUE . this is because at eutectic composition the type of reaction that takes place there is invariant reaction in its thermal equilibrium
For effective dispersion strengthening, the dispersed phase should be needle-like, as opposed to round : FALSE. because the rounded shape will not cause a crack.
Intermetallic compounds are usually hard and brittle : TRUE. because Intermetallic compounds prevents dislocation movements and this makes them brittle and hard
For the effective dispersion and strengthening, the dispersed phase should be continuous : FALSE. this is because the dispersed precipitate must be small and not continuous
Stoichiometric intermetallic compounds exist over a range of compositions : FALSE
Faster solidification results in smaller interlamellar spacing : TRUE

Help, please 10 points

Lyrx [107]

The speed at which seismic waves travel depends on the properties of the material that they are passing through. For example, the denser a material is, the faster a seismic wave travels. P waves can travel through liquid and solids and gases, while S waves only travel through solids.
