Answer:

Ionic.

Explanation:

Elements with higher electronegativity values are better at attracting electrons in a chemical bond.  

  • A chemical bond is considered "ionic" if the electronegativity difference between the two bonding atoms is greater than 1.8.
  • Otherwise, this chemical bond is considered "covalent".

In this example, the difference between the electronegativity of oxygen and lithium is 3.5 - 1.0 = 2.5. Since 2.5 > 1.8, the bond between the two elements would likely be ionic.

It is possible to reach the same conclusion based on the fact that lithium is a metal while oxygen is a nonmetal. When metal elements react with non-metal elements, the product is typically an ionic compound- with ionic bonds between the atoms.

A reaction produces 74.10 g Ca(OH)2 after 56.08 g CaO is added to 36.04 g H2O. How should the difference in the masses of reacta

Cao +  H2O  ---->Ca(OH)2
Calculate   the  number  of  each   reactant  and  the  moles  of  the  product
that  is
moles = mass/molar mass
The  moles  of  CaO=  56.08g/  56.08g/mol(molar  mass  of  Cao)=  1mole
the  moles  of  water=  36.04 g/18  g/mol=  2.002moles
The   moles  of Ca (OH)2=74.10g/74.093g/mol= 1mole

 The  mass  of differences  of  reactant  and  product  can   be  therefore

 1  mole   of  Cao  reacted  completely   with   1  mole   H2O  to  produce  1 mole  of  Ca(OH)2. The  mass  of  water   was  in  excess  while  that  of  CaO  was  limited

Which explains the information needed to calculate speed and velocity?
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Both require time, but velocity requires displacement and speed requires distance

Explanation:

For calculating speed we require time and distance because speed is defined as the distance per unit time and as speed is a scalar quantity it does not have any direction

But for calculating the velocity we require time as well as displacement because velocity is defined as the displacement per unit time and as velocity is a vector quantity it has direction

Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial position and the final position and it has a specified direction as well
