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.

Explain why Cl2 can form two different Na bonds
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer: There is a single covalent bond in a chlorine molecule.

Explanation: The chlorine molecule is represented as Cl−Cl, i.e. C

l2. Between the chlorine atoms, 2 electrons overlap to form a region of high electron density to which the positively charged chlorine nuclei are attracted, such that internuclear repulsion is negated and a net attractive force results. Because the bonding electrons are shared between the nuclei, we conceive that each atom has 8 valence electrons.

Of course, on reaction with sodium, the sodium reduces the chlorine molecule to give 2×Cl−. The resultant bond between Na+ and Cl−is ionic and a non-molecular substance results.

294 g of potassium dichromate contains 52 g of chromium and 39 g of potassium. What is the mass percent of oxygen in the compoun
xenn [34]
The answer is 69.048%.

Mass of potassium dichromate (K₂Cr₂O₇) is 294 g, which is a 100%.

Given mass of chromium is 52 g. So, the mass percent of chromium in the compound is 17.687%:
52 g : x% = 294 g : 100%
x = 52 ÷ 294 × 100 %
x = 17.687%

Given mass of potassium is 39 g. <span>So, the mass percent of potassium in the compound is 13.265%:
39 g : x% = 294 g : 100%
x = </span>39 ÷ <span>294 × 100 %
x = 13.265%

Therefore, </span>the mass percent of oxygen in the compound is <span>69.048%:
100% - </span>17.687% - <span>13.265% = 69.048%.</span>
