What 3 protons and 2 electrons what charge?
A lithium ion has three protons and 2 electrons - Li+. A neutral lithium atom has 3 electrons, but loses one to form an ionic bond with a non-metal.
What is the valance electron of lithium atom that is easily remove to form a lithium with a charge of 1?
the valence electron of lithium that is easily removed is the 1s2 electron
How does an ion with a charge of 2 form?
For a neutral atom to become an ion with a 2 plus charge it must LOSE TWO ELECTRONS.
Why An atom of lithium (Li) forms an ionic bond with an atom of chlorine (Cl) to form lithium chloride. How are the valence electrons of these atoms rearranged to form this bond?
The difference between the electronegativities of lithium and chlorine is big and an ionic bond is formed by electrostatic attraction.
Which of these describes the charges of an atom's electrons and protons?
Protons have a POSITIVE charge Neutrons don't have a charge, hence the name NEUTRON Electrons have a NEGATIVE charge Protons and Neutrons form the nucleus of the atom and Electrons spin around the nucleus
What is the overall charge of a lithium atom that has 4 neutrons 3 electrons and 3 protons?
litium ATOM will be nuetral, a lithimum ION will be 1+
What 3 protons and 2 electrons what charge?
A lithium ion has three protons and 2 electrons - Li+. A neutral lithium atom has 3 electrons, but loses one to form an ionic bond with a non-metal.
How many ions does an lithium atom have?
AnswerLithium has 9 isotopes. 2 isotopes are stable and 7 are radioactive.Lithium has 9 isotopes. 2 isotopes are stable and 7 are radioactive.
How many electrons does lithium loses?
Lithium gives one electron to another atom to form a stable mono-positive ion.
What is the valance electron of lithium atom that is easily remove to form a lithium with a charge of 1?
the valence electron of lithium that is easily removed is the 1s2 electron

A lithium ion is different than a lithium atom because it?
The Li ion is different from the atom because it has positive charge. (Lithium is group 1 element and these lose 1 electron to form for example :Li+ , Na+ etc)
Which of these describes the charges of an atom's electrons and protons?
Protons have a POSITIVE charge Neutrons don't have a charge, hence the name NEUTRON Electrons have a NEGATIVE charge Protons and Neutrons form the nucleus of the atom and Electrons spin around the nucleus
What happens when a lithium atoms has lost an electron comes near a chlorine atom that has gained an electron?
The compound lithium chloride (LiCl) is formed.
How many electrons in a neutral atom of Xenon?
The atomic number of Xenon is 54. This means the atom contains 54 protons. In order to form a neutral atom, the positive charge from the protons and the negative charge from the electrons must cancel out. In order to be neutral the atom must have 54 electrons.
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.
