Because their molecules are more tightly packed. Massdensity = ---------- Volume
So more densely packed molecules means more mass per unit volume. Hence metals are denser than non-metals.
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
Answer:
N-Cl
Explanation:
Look at the chart below. Since N-Cl bond has a electronegativity difference of (3.0-3.0) zero, they are non-polar.
