Form bonds: Click Add metal to add another lithium atom, and then transfer electrons from the lithium to the oxygen. Click Check.
A. Did you make a stable compound?
B. Turn on Show formula. What is the formula of this compound?
C. Turn on Show charge. What is the charge of each ion? Li
Li
O
Answers
Answer:
A) Yes, I made a stable compound.
B) The formula is Li2O
C) Li (1+), Li (1+), O (2-)
Explanation:
I'm not sure how to explain A for you. But, for Part B once you make 3 of the atom (which 2 for lithium and 1 for Oxygen) then you would click Show Formula and you can see it underneath Show Formula. And for Part C you can see it if you use gizmo you would click the Show Charge and it would show you the charge.
Answer:
A. Yes i made a stable compound
B. Li2O
C. Lithium has (+1) charge and oxygen has (-2) charge.
Explanation:
A. Chemical stability of a system is referred to as the attaining of stable state by existing in dynamic equilibrium. Thermodynamic stability occurs when the system is in the lowest energy state or in chemical equilibrium with its surroundings.
B. Lithium oxide is formed when lithium reacts with oxygen. Two atoms of lithium reacts with one atom of oxygen to give the formula
C. A lithium atom has positively charged proton and three negatively charged electron in their orbitals. You can lose one of the electrons and become an ion. Now that it has more positive protons than electrons, it has a positive charge overall of +1. A oxygen atom has six negatively charged electron in 2p orbital and has the affinity to take two more electrons to attain a stable configuration so it has a charge of -2.
