HELP NOW!!
The correct answer is: "The atoms in lithium sulfide are held together by bonds."
Explanation: In a molecule of lithium sulfide, there are two atoms of lithium and one atom of sulfur. These atoms are held together by chemical bonds. Chemical bonds are formed when atoms share or transfer electrons to achieve a more stable configuration. In the case of lithium sulfide, the lithium atoms transfer one electron each to the sulfur atom, resulting in the formation of ionic bonds. The sulfur atom becomes negatively charged due to the gained electrons, while the lithium atoms become positively charged due to the loss of electrons. This electrostatic attraction between the positive and negative ions holds the atoms together in the compound.
The other statements are incorrect:
- A molecular model of lithium sulfide would consist of two spheres, one representing the sulfur atom and the other representing the lithium atom.
- The chemical formula for lithium sulfide is Li2S, indicating two lithium atoms and one sulfur atom.
- Both lithium and sulfur form ions, but in the case of lithium sulfide, lithium forms positive ions (Li+) and sulfur forms negative ions (S2-).
