Acompound is known to be a lithium halide, lix. if 5.00 g of the salt is dissolved in exactly 100.0 g of water, the solution freezes at -3.585°c. what is the chemical formula for the salt? lif lii libr licl

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
