Question

ar Z BT AA 3 20) Look at the picture below of a lithium-fluoride molecule and determine if the bond is a: a. Hydrogen bond

Answer 1

Li contributes one electron to Flourine, the electron is negatively charged, In a neutral atom number of protons = number of electrons, protons are positively charged so when Li loses one electron it becomes positively charged, and Fluorine accepts electron and becomes negatively charged, the Ionic bond is the electrostatic attraction between positively charged and negatively charged ions.

so the answer is b) ionic bond.

the hydrogen bond is the bond between hydrogen with a partial negative charge and other atoms with partial posiitve charge on other molecules.

covalent bond is formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms.
