When lithium metal reacts with fluorine gas it forms the ionic compound lithium fluoride (LiF). What is the correct electron configurations of the ions formed

The electronic configuration of ions formed are:

Li+ (2) => 1s2

Cl- (18) => 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

Explanation:

Lithium metal, Li will lose 1 electron to lithium ion Li+. Chlorine atom, Cl will receive the 1 electron to form the chloride ion Cl- as shown by the following equation below:

Li —> Li+ + e

Cl+ e —> Cl-

Combine both equation

Li + Cl + e —> Li+ + Cl- + e

Cancel out 'e'

Li + Cl —> Li+ Cl-

Thus, we can write the electronic configuration for the reaction as follow:

Before reaction:

Li (3) => 1s2 2s1

Cl (17) => 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5

After reaction

Li+ (2) => 1s2

Cl- (18) => 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

Therefore, the electronic configuration of the ions formed are:

Li+ (2) => 1s2

Cl- (18) => 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6

n2(g) + 3h2-> 2nh3(g)   this is the balanced equation

note the mole ratio between n2, h2 and nh3.   it is 1 : 3 : 2   this will be important.

moles n2 present = 28.0 g n2 x 1 mole n2/28 g = 1 mole n2 present

moles h2 present = 25.0 g h2 x 1 mole h2/2 g = 12.5 moles h2 present

based on mole ratio, n2 is limiting in this situation because there is more than enough h2 but not enough n2.

moles nh3 that can be produced = 1 mole n2 x 2 moles nh3/mole n2 = 2 moles nh3 can be produced

grams of nh3 that can be produced = 2 moles nh3 x 17 g/mole = 34 grams of nh3 can be produced

note:   the key to this problem is recognizing that n2 is limiting, and therefore limits how much nh3 can be produced.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
