Predict the following chemical formula for a compound between lithium and oxygen

Explanation:

Atomic number of lithium is 3 with electronic distribution 2, 1. So, to attain stability lithium loses 1 electron and becomes ion.

Atomic number of oxygen is 8 with electronic distribution 2, 6. So, to attain stability oxygen needs to gain two electrons and thus becomes ion.

Therefore, a neutral molecule will have charges balanced between the combining atoms.

Hence, when lithium and oxygen atoms combine together then they will form compound .

There is one s orbital, and there are three p orbitals, five d orbitals, and seven f orbitals. thus, the answer is b. do not confuse the number of orbitals in a subshell with the number of electrons the subshell can hold. each orbital can hold two electrons, so the capacity of an nf subshell is 14 electrons.

And a) oxygen i believe
