Chapter 29 Problem 3MCQ

Question

A hydrogen atom \((Z=1)\) is bonded to a lithium atom \((Z=3)\) in lithium hydride, \(\mathrm{LiH}\). Which of the following are possible spin states of the two shared electrons?

(a) \(+\frac{1}{2},+\frac{1}{2}\)


(b) \(-\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2}\)


(c) \(+\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2}\)


(
) Both \(\text { (a) and }(b) \text {. }\)


(
) Any of the above.

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 29 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A hydrogen atom \((Z=1)\) is bonded to a lithium atom \((Z=3)\) in lithium hydride, \(\mathrm{LiH}\). Which of the following are possible spin states of the two shared electrons? (a) \(+\frac{1}{2},+\frac{1}{2}\)(b) \(-\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2}\)(c) \(+\frac{1}{2},-\frac{1}{2}\)() Both \(\text { (a) and }(b) \text {. }\)() Any of the above.
From the textbook chapter Molecules and Solids you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
