Explanation:
Lithium is an electropositive element that readily loses electrons.
Oxygen is electronegative and it will readily accept electrons.
Due to this significant electronegativity differences between the two species they form electrovalent or ionic bonds between them.
2atoms of Li lose two electrons:
Li → Li²⁺ + e⁻
Lithium isoelectronic with helium
For oxygen;
O + 2e⁻ → O²⁻
Oxygen is isoelectronic with Neon
Two ions of the lithium combines with the oxygen to form the bond;
4Li + O₂ → 2Li₂O
The electrostatic attraction between the two ions forms the ionic bond
I say the answer is The ratio of oxygen atoms to hydrogen atoms in a molecule of sugar is 2 to 1
Answer:
1) all matter is made up of atoms and molecules 2) these tiny particles are always in motion; the higher the temp. the faster they move 3) at the same temp., heavier particles move more slowly then small particles
Explanation:
The correct answer is B) Basic. Hope this helps.
