Answer:

5

Explanation:

A lithium atom with an atomic number of 3 and a charge of -2 will have a total number of electrons.

The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. For a neutral atom that has not gained or lost electrons, the atomic number is the same as the number of electrons.

   neutral atom: atomic number of electrons

For neutral atom of lithium, we will have 3 electrons

Now, lithium with a charge of -2 has gained two more electrons to the original 3 this now makes it 5.

ii.

It is an anion because it is negatively charged.

Negatively charged particles are called anion.

Two unknown compounds are tested. Compound 1 contains 15.0g of hydrogen and 120.0g of oxygen. Compound 2 contains 2.0g of hydrog
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

The both compounds are different.

Explanation:

In order to confirm weather both compounds are same we will check the mole ration. If it is same the compounds will be same.

Given data:

For compound 1.

Mass of hydrogen = 15 g

Mass of oxygen = 120 g

Moles of hydrogen and oxygen = ?

Number of moles of hydrogen = 15 g/ 1g/mol = 15 mol

Number of moles of oxygen = 120 g/ 16 g/mol = 7.5 mol

Total number of moles = 22.5 mol

% of hydrogen = 15 /22.5 × 100 = 66.7%

% of oxygen = 7.5 / 22.5× 100 = 33.3%

For compound 2:

Mass of hydrogen = 2 g

Mass of oxygen = 32 g

Moles of hydrogen and oxygen = ?

Number of moles of hydrogen = 2 g/ 1g/mol = 2 mol

Number of moles of oxygen = 32 g/ 16 g/mol = 2 mol

Total number of moles = 4 mol

% of hydrogen = 2 /4 × 100 = 50%

% of oxygen = 2 / 4× 100 = 50%
