Which compound is expected to exhibit hydrogen bonding forces?

Likurg_2 [28]

A hydrogen bond is the electrostatic attraction between two polar groups that occurs when a hydrogen (H) atom covalently bound to a highly electronegative atom such as nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), or fluorine (F) experiences the electrostatic field of another highly electronegative atom nearby. examples h20

What is the chemical formula for a compound between Li and Br?

natima [27]

LiBr.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Note that the group number in this answer refers to the new IUPAC group number, which ranges from 1 to 18. Counts from the left. Start with the first two column (group 1 and 2), go on to the transition elements (Sc, Ti, etc. in group 3 through 12), and continue with the nonmetals (group 13 through 18).

Li is a group 1 metal. As a metal, it tends to form positive ions ("cations"). Metals in group 1 and 2 are main group metals. The charge on main group metal ions tends to be the same as the group number of the metal. Li is in group 1. The charge on an Li ion will be +1. Formula of the Li ion will be $\text{Li}^{+}$ .

Br is a group 17 nonmetal. As a nonmetal, it tends to form negative ions ("anions"). The charge on nonmetal ions excepting for H tends to equal the group number of the nonmetal minus 18. Br is in group 17. The charge on a Br ion will be 17 - 18 = -1. Formula of the Br ion will be $\text{Br}^{-}$

All the ions in an ionic compound carry charge. However, some of the ions like $\text{Li}^+$ are positive. Others ions like $\text{Br}^{-}$ are negative. Charge on the two types of ions balance each other. As a result, the compound is overall neutral.

1 × (+1) + 1 × (-1) = 0. The positive charge on one $\text{Li}^{+}$ ion balances the negative charge on one $\text{Br}^{-}$ ion. The two ions would pair up at a 1:1 ratio.

The empirical formula for an ionic compound shows all the ions in the compound. Positive ions are written in front of negative ions. $\text{Li}^{+}$ is positive and $\text{Br}^{-}$ is negative. The formula shall also show the simplest ratio between the ions. For the compound between Li and Br, a 1:1 ratio will be the simplest. The "1" subscript in an empirical formula can be omitted. Hence the formula: LiBr.

A sample of a compound made entirely from copper and oxygen was found to have a total mass of 0.143 g the mass of copper in the

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Mass of Oxygen: 0.0159 grams

Moles of Oxygen: 9.94x10^-4

To find the mass of oxygen, subtract the mass of copper from the total mass.

$0.143-0.1271=0.0159$

There are 0.0159 grams of Oxygen.

To find how many moles there are, divide the given amount of oxygen by the molar mass (atomic mass) of oxygen because that mass is the same as one mole of oxygen.

Molar mass of Oxygen: 16.00

$0.0159/16.00=9.94*10^{-4}$

There are 9.94*10^-4 moles of Oxygen.
