The word that best fits the underlined in the sentence is "free-to-rotate." The carbon atoms in their carbon bonds are free to rotate since alkanes do not have geometric isomers. They only have single bonds and the most common example of which are trans molecules.
The chemical reaction would be expressed as follows:
HBr + LiOH = LiBr + H2O
We are given the volumes and corresponding concentration to be used for the reaction. We use these values to solve for the concentration of the other reactant. We do as follows:
0.253 mol LiOH / L solution ( 0.01673 L ) ( 1 mol HBr / 1 mol LiOH ) = 0.00423 HBr needed
Concentration of HBr =0.00423mol / .010 L = 0.423 M HBr
The atomic number of Li is 3
Electron configuration of Li : 1s² 2s¹
The atomic number of Na is 11
Electron configuration of Na : 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹
Thus there is one electron in the valence shell of Li (2s¹) and that of Na (3s¹). However, the valence electron in Na is in a shell that is farther away from the nucleus compared to that of Li. As a result, the Na valence electron will be held less tightly by the nucleus i.e. it will experience a reduced nuclear attraction and can be removed easily than the Li 2s electron.
The answer would be metal
