Question

(03.02 LC) Lithium has a 1+ charge, and oxygen has a 2− charge. A Lewis dot diagram should contain one lithium atom and two oxygen atoms to show how these atoms form an ionic bond. True False

Answer 1

false,

the lewis dot structure of lithium oxide will not include only one lithium atom and two oxygen atom,

it will include 2 lithium atom and one oxygen atom so that an ionic compound is formed.

lithium contains +1 positive charge and oxygen contains -2 negative charge so as to make an ionic bond, two lithium should give its 2 electrons to 1 atom of oxygen.

2[Li]⁺ [O]⁻²

Answer 2

Answer:

It is false!
