When a chlorine atom comes in contact with a lithium atom do they combine to form a compound?
Lithium and Chlorine produce the compound Lithium Chloride.
From which orbital in a lithium atom is an electron transferred to form Li?
The valence electron in a lithium atom is in orbital 2s. To form a lithium cation, this electron is transferred to some more electronegative atom.
What two things react with lithium?
Lithium is a highly reactive metal, so it can react with many other ions, especially halogens such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine
What is the correct name for LiCl?
LiCl is the chemical formula of of lithium chloride.
Lithium valence electrons type of ions formed?
Li +
If a chlorine atom attracted an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would become?
Yes. Any atom that loses or gains electrons become charged. Positively charged If the chlorine atom attracts an electron from a lithium atom, they both become charged ions. The chlorine atom becomes a -1 charged chlorine ion and the lithium atom becomes a +1 charged lithium ion. Further the two ions combine to make the compound Lithium Chloride.
How many protons does a lithium atom have?
Based on the atomic number of lithium there are three protons in a lithium atom.
How many protons are there in the lithium?
All lithium atoms (ions or neutral) have 3 protons.
If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would become charged?
The chlorine atom would become a negatively charged chlorine anion because it has an extra electron, and the lithium atom would become a positively charged cation because it has lost one electron.
When a lithium atom forms a Li plus ion the lithium atom does what?
The lithium atom lose an electron.
How many protons are the in an atom of lithium?
3
How many proton are there in the lithium ion?
All lithium atoms (ions or neutral) have 3 protons.
What is the name if an ionic compound that consists of lithium ions and iodine ions?
lithium iodide (LiI)
What charge would you get from a lithium atom if a bromine atom were to attract to an electron from lithium?
The charge if a fluorine atom were attract an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would be positive. -APEX
How many protons are there in the nucleus of a lithium atom?
3
Is lithium an atom?
Lithium is an element with 3 protons in each atom.
How many protons are there in atom of lithium?
Protons- 3Electrons- 3Neutrons- 4
