Answer:
- <u><em>You should expect that the ionic bond in LiBr is stronger than the bond in KBr.</em></u>
<u><em /></u>
Explanation:
The<em> ionic bonds</em> are formed by the electrostatic attraction between the ions, cations and anions.
In KBr the cation is K⁺ and the anion is Br⁻.
In LiBr the cation is Li⁺ and the anion is Br⁻.
You must expect that the bond strength depends mainly on the charges present on each ion and the distance between them.
Nevertheless, the effect of the distance between the radius dominate the trendency of the bond strength, which makes that the ionic strength trend be related to the ionic radius trend.
Lithium is a smaller ion than Potassium (both are in the same group and Lithium is above Potassium).
Thus, you should expect that the Li ion is closer to the Br ion than what the K ion is to the Br ion and expect that the bond between a Li ion and the Br ion be stronger than the bond between the K ion and the Br ion.
According to the EPA... If someone burns fossil fuels<span>, the reaction releases nitrogen oxides up and into the atmosphere. This </span>contributes<span> to the creation of smog (sometimes acid rain). The biggest sources of nitrogen oxide emissions are: vehicles, coal power plants, ships, airplanes, and large industrial operations.</span>

Answer:
An element X reacts with oxygen to form XO
and with chlorine to form XCl
. XO
is a white solid that melts at high temperatures (above 1000 degrees C). Under usual conditions, XCl
is a colorless liquid with a boiling point of 58 degrees C.
Explanation:
<span>The reactants have a slightly greater mass. In a nuclear reaction, a small amount of mass
is converted to energy according to the equation E = mc2. The difference in mass is referred to as the
mass defect.</span>
