How many ions that have a +1 charge will bond with an ion that has a –2 charge? one two three four

Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that when two ions combine together then they tend to arrange themselves in such a way that the resulting compound formed will be neutral in nature.

For example, when an ion of +1 charge will bond with another ion of -2 charge then in order to keep the compound formed neutral in nature 2 ions of +1 charge will tend to combine with one ion of -2 charge.

As lithium has +1 charge and oxygen ion has -2 charge. Therefore, when both these ions combine together then the formula of the compound will be .

Thus, we can conclude that two ions that have a +1 charge will bond with an ion that has a –2 charge.
