Question

hi


LiCl is a salt which is primarily ionically bonded. Calculate the % covalent bonding in this material. Give the electron configuration of the lithium ion. Calculate the repulsive force (in Newtons) on the lithium ion at its equilibrium position if the value of r0=1 .2 A, m= 1, and n=3. Calculate the value of the constant B (include units). Lithium chloride and sodium chloride have melting points of 605 degree C and 801 degree C, respectively. Will the value of the bonding energy be higher for NaCl or LiCl? Why?

Explanation / Answer

a) 31.6%

b) 1s2

c) Please specify what are r0, n, m and B

d) Bonding energy is not related to melting point. LiCl has greater bonding energy.
