How can electronegativity be used to explain the reaction we see in terms of the numbers and types of bonded being formed in lit

hium?

Chemistry

kolezko [41]3 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

Lithium is an electropositive element that readily loses electrons.

Oxygen is electronegative and it will readily accept electrons.

 Due to this significant electronegativity differences between the two species they form electrovalent or ionic bonds between them.

  2atoms of Li lose two electrons:

      Li  →  Li²⁺ + e⁻

             Lithium isoelectronic with helium

 For oxygen;

      O + 2e⁻   →  O²⁻

                          Oxygen is isoelectronic with Neon

Two ions of the lithium combines with the oxygen to form the bond;

                   4Li + O₂  →  2Li₂O

The electrostatic attraction between the two ions forms the ionic bond

Missing question:
1) the rate of dissolving reaches zero 
<span>2) the rate of crystallization reaches zero </span>
3) the rate of dissolving is zero and the rate of crystallization is greater than zero.
<span>4) both the rate of dissolving and the rate of crystallization are equal and greater than zero.
</span>
Answer is: 4) both the rate of dissolving and the rate of crystallization are equal and greater than zero.
Silver chloride (AgCl) dissolves and form silver and chlorine ions, in the same time silver and chlorine ions crystallizate and form solid salt silver chloride.
In equilibrium rates of dissolvinf and crysallization and concentration of ions do not change.

What are the similarities between the adrenal hormone cortisone and the synthetic corticoid prednisone?
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Options a,b, c and d are correct

Explanation:

From the diagram attached in the picture below, They both have steroid nucleus since they have functional groups (such as the methyl and the ketone groups) that are spatially attached. It can also be deduced that both structures have three (3) ketone groups (CO/C=O), two (2) methyl groups (CH₃) and two (2) hydroxyl groups (OH). Hence, options a, b,c and d are correct.

However, cortisone has one (1) double bond while prednisone has two (2) double bonds.

A lake in rural maine drops in ph from 7 to 5 as a result of acid rain falling into it. how has the h+ ion concentration change
Jlenok [28]
The H+ concentration in the lake has increased as a result of the acid rain.
The original pH of the lake was 7, which mean the water is neutral, but due to the acid rain, it drops to 5. This means, that the water has become acidic and how have more hydrogen ion. The H+ concentration in the lake has 100 times compares with its original pH.

The hydrogen ion​ concentration, ​[H+​], in a certain cleaning compound is left bracket Upper H Superscript plus Baseline right
labwork [276]

<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the cleaning compound is 10.44

<u>Explanation:</u>

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen or hydronium ion concentration that are present in a solution.

The equation representing pH of the solution follows:

pH=-\log[H^+]

We are given:

[H^+]=3.6\times 10^{-11}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pH=-\log(3.6\times 10^{-11})

pH=10.44

Hence, the pH of the cleaning compound is 10.44
