Can boron bond with lithium

Chemistry
1 answer:
bezimeni [28]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

No, they are not able to bond.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, regarding chemical bonds, it is necessary to remember that these come up when a metal is bonded with a nonmetal, or, when two nonmetals get bonded; however, even there exist a type of denominated metallic, it is not eligible for boron and lithium because they tend to stable as cations (positive) and therefore, equal charges are not eligible for bonding, thus, boron and lithium would not be able to bond.

Best regards!

A compound consists of 75% magnesium and 25% oxygen. Find the empirical formula.
laila [671]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

% Composition of elements:

  • Magnesium = 75%
  • Oxygen = 25%

Atomic mass of given elements:

  • Magnesium = 24 g
  • Oxygen = 16 g

Now, divide % composition by Atomic mass:

\footnotesize\implies Mg = \dfrac{\% \:  Composition}{Atomic  \: mass} =  \dfrac{75}{24}  =  \bf 3.125

\footnotesize\implies O = \dfrac{\% \:  Composition}{Atomic  \: mass} =  \dfrac{25}{16}  =  \bf 1.5625

Simplest Ratio:

\footnotesize\implies Mg  =  \dfrac{3.125}{1.5625}  = 2

\footnotesize\implies O  =  \dfrac{1.5625}{1.5625} = 1

Empirical Formula:

\footnotesize\implies \underline{ \boxed{ \red{ \bf Empirical \:  Formula = Mg_2O}}}

The elements C and Se have the same electronegativity value, 2.55. Which of the following claims about the compound that forms f
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Having the same electronegativity means that the both elements will form a nonpolar bond. The shared electrons of the bind will be found equidistant from the nucleus of the two atoms because none has an unusual ability to attract the electrons of a bond towards itself.

Precipitation reactions always occur when two aqueous solutions are mixed (T/F)
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer: The given statement is false.

Explanation:

Precipitation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which two aqueous solution upon mixing together results in the formation of an insoluble solid.

For example, NaCl(aq) + AgNO_{3} \rightarrow NaNO_{3}(aq) + AgCl(s)

Here AgCl is present in solid state so, it is the precipitate.

But it is not necessarily true that two aqueous solutions will always result in the formation of a precipitate.

For example, NaCl(aq) + KNO_{3}(aq) \rightarrow KCl(aq) + NaNO_{3}(aq)

Hence, we can conclude that the statement precipitation reactions always occur when two aqueous solutions are mixed, is false.

How does the law of conservation of mass relate to the number of atoms of each element that are present before a reaction vs. th
TiliK225 [7]
The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as system's mass cannot change, so quantity cannot be added nor removed. Hence, the quantity of mass is conserved over time.

The law implies that mass can neither be created nor destroyed, although it may be rearranged in space, or the entities associated with it may be changed in form. For example, in chemical reactions, the mass of the chemical components before the reaction is equal to the mass of the components after the reaction. Thus, during any chemical reaction and low-energy thermodynamic processes in an isolated system, the total mass of the reactants, or starting materials, must be equal to the mass of the products.

According to the Law of Conservation, all atoms of the reactant(s) must equal the atoms of the product(s).
As a result, we need to balance chemical equations. We do this by adding in coefficients to the reactants and/or products. The compound(s) itself/themselves DOES NOT CHANGE.

Name the 2 isomers of c7h16 that contain 2 methyl branches, each branch on a different carbon of the parent chain.
kupik [55]
There can be a lot of meanings for isomers. In this case, we are showing the structural isomers of C₇H₁₆. Based on the chemical formula, CₓH₂ₓ₊₂ it is an alkane. They only differ in the positions of methane branches in the parent carbon chain. Basing on the attached picture, the parent carbon chain is pentane for both isomers. But the methyl branches are on the 2nd & 4th, and 2nd & 3rd carbon for 2,4 - dimethylpentane and 2,3 - dimethylpentane, respectively.
