Atomic Number of Lithium is 3, so it has 3 electrons in its neutral state. Also, Li₂ will have 6 electrons. But the chemical formula we are given has a negative charge on it (i.e Li₂⁻) so there is an additional electron (RED) present on this compound. So, the total number of electrons are 7. The
MOT diagram for this compound is shown below. According to diagram we are having 4 electrons in Bonding Molecular Orbitals (
BMO) and 3 electrons in Anti-Bonding Molecular Orbitals (
ABMO). Bond Order is calculated as,
Bond Order = (# of e⁻s in BMO - # of e⁻s in ABMO) ÷ 2
Bond Order = (4 - 3) ÷ 2
Bond Order = 1 ÷ 2
Or,
Bond Order = 1/2Or,
Bond Order = 0.5
To solve this we use the
equation,
<span> M1V1 = M2V2</span>
<span> where M1 is the
concentration of the stock solution, V1 is the volume of the stock solution, M2
is the concentration of the new solution and V2 is its volume.</span>
<span>2.0 M x V1 = 0.50 M x 200 mL</span>
<span>V1 = 50 mL needed</span>
Hard question !! Is this math .. if not then oh okay cause I’m bad at math but good at everything else so let me think about it !
