Solid lithium oxide adopts an antifluorite structure with four-coordinated Li+ centers and eight-coordinated oxides. [4]The ground state gas phase Li 2 O molecule is linear with a bond length consistent with strong ionic bonding.
Expressing resonance when drawing Lewis structures may be done either by drawing each of the possible resonance forms and placing double-headed arrows between them or by using dashed lines to represent the partial bonds (although the latter is a good representation of the resonance hybrid which is not, formally speaking, a Lewis structure).
For example, ChemDraw supports this, as does ChemSketch and BIOVIA Draw (.emf is preferable for the latter). Draw the structure in your molecule editor, and save it as a Windows Metafile (.wmf), Enhanced Metafile (.emf), or Encapsulated Postscript (.eps). Open the saved file in Inkscape.
The LiO 2 molecule is a misnomer: the bonds between lithium and oxygen are highly ionic, with almost complete electron-transfer. [1] The force constant between the two oxygen atoms matches the constants measured for the superoxide anion (O − 2) in other contexts.
Walsh diagrams in conjunction with molecular orbital theory can also be used as a tool to predict reactivity. By generating a Walsh Diagram and then determining the HOMO/LUMO of that molecule, it can be determined how the molecule is likely to react. In the following example, the Lewis acidity of AH 3 molecules such as BH 3 and CH 3 + is predicted.
The lower the position of a metal's line in the Ellingham diagram, the greater is the stability of its oxide. For example, the line for Al (oxidation of aluminium) is found to be below that for Fe (formation of Fe 2 O 3) meaning that aluminium oxide is more stable than iron(III) oxide. Stability of metallic oxides decreases with increase in ...
In organic chemistry, double bonds and C-H bonds are shorter than most single bonds. Most molecules have lone pairs of electrons, which are sometimes stereochemically active . It is a matter of taste whether one includes the lone pair in a drawing.
A phase diagram in physical chemistry, engineering, mineralogy, and materials science is a type of chart used to show conditions (pressure, temperature, etc.) at which thermodynamically distinct phases (such as solid, liquid or gaseous states) occur and coexist at equilibrium.
