The chemical formula of the compound lithium nitrate is [tex]\(\square\)[/tex] [tex]\(\square\)[/tex].


Sagot :

To determine the chemical formula of lithium nitrate, we need to consider the ions involved in the compound:

1. Identify the ions:
- The lithium ion is represented as [tex]\( \text{Li}^+ \)[/tex].
- The nitrate ion is represented as [tex]\( \text{NO}_3^- \)[/tex].

2. Combine the ions:
- Both lithium and nitrate have charges that can combine in a 1:1 ratio because the positive and negative charges balance each other out.

3. Write the chemical formula:
- Lithium [tex]\( \text{Li} \)[/tex], has a charge of [tex]\( +1 \)[/tex].
- Nitrate [tex]\( \text{NO}_3 \)[/tex], has a charge of [tex]\( -1 \)[/tex].
- When combined in a neutral compound, the formula becomes [tex]\( \text{LiNO}_3 \)[/tex].

Therefore, the chemical formula of lithium nitrate is [tex]\( \text{LiNO}_3 \)[/tex].
