Answer: The space occupied by the gas at 400 torr and
is 250 mL.
Explanation:
Given:
= 250 mL,
= 800 torr, 
,
= 400 torr, 
Formula used is as follows.

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

Thus, we can conclude that space occupied by the gas at 400 torr and
is 250 mL.
Lithium is an element that has an electronic configuration of 2,1. So when forming bonds, it tries to release one of its electrons in the last shell to reach the octet state. Normally when atoms release electrons they get positive charge since the number of protons which bear positive charge, is higher than number of electrons which bear negative charge. So when reaching its octet state, lithium gains positive charge!
Hope this helps! Tbh am not good at explaining. If u have any doubts, ask me!
Beryllium is a metal so it needs to loose electrons to have a full outer shell while sulfur is a non-metal so it needs to gain electrons to fill its outer shell.
