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.

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.

∙ 8y agoAtoms which have lost or gained electrons are called ions. A lithium ion has a positive charge and a chloride ion has a negative charge, so the two attract each other. This is unlikely to happen in isolation, there are usually millions of each when they are formed. All the ions attract each other and they form a three dimensional pattern called a crystal lattice.

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
When lithium forms an ionic bond with fluorine which one of the atoms becomes a positively chraged ion?
Lithium becomes a cation (pos. charged) because it gives one electron to Fluorine.
Would lithium combine with fluorine make an ionic compound?
Yes, definitely. It would form LiF, or Lithium fluoride. Lithium is a metal with 1 extra electron that it needs to lose to become stable and Fluorine is a nonmetal with 7 electrons so it needs to gain 1 more to fill its valence electron shell and complete its octet. Lithium loses its electron to Fluorine and this creates an ionic bond.
Lithum has much less attraction for any valence electronss than does fluorine atoms of these two elements would from?
Lithium and fluorine would form the ionic compound lithium fluoride, LiF. The lithium atoms would form positively charged ions and the fluorine atoms would form negatively charged fluoride ions. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bond.
What is the normal charge on an ion of chlorine in LiCl?
The charge of Chlorine in Lithium chloride is - because it takes Lithium's extra, negatively-charged electron.
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
Would the lithium atom be positively charged if the bromine atom were to attract electron from lithium?
Positively (apex)
When lithium forms an ionic bond with fluorine which one of the atoms becomes a positively chraged ion?
Lithium becomes a cation (pos. charged) because it gives one electron to Fluorine.
How do lithium and fluorine become stable together?
lithium donates the electron in its outer orbital to fluorine which then has a completed outer shell
Fluorine has a higher electronegativity than Lithium What does this actually mean?
electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons, therefore fluorine is more able to attract electrons then lithium (has a greater pull).
Would lithium combine with fluorine make an ionic compound?
Yes, definitely. It would form LiF, or Lithium fluoride. Lithium is a metal with 1 extra electron that it needs to lose to become stable and Fluorine is a nonmetal with 7 electrons so it needs to gain 1 more to fill its valence electron shell and complete its octet.

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.
What does fluorine and lithium form when mixed together?
Lets start by quickly defining a ionic bond, it is a bond between a metal atom and a non-metal atom, in which electron are transferred. In this case we have Lithium (Li) a metal and Florien (F) a non-metal. You have to look at both of these atoms valence electrons. Lithium has one and Florien has seven. So Lithium will give up and transfer its one electron to Florien, becoming an ion with a charge of +1, and Florine will now also be an ion but with a charge of -1. Here is the stucture Li+1[F]-1
How can linthium bond with chorine?
An electron from the Lithium is donated to the Chlorine (so both atoms have a full outer shell) - this means they become Li+ and Cl- , which are charged particles so they attract each other.
What is the normal charge on an ion of chlorine in LiCl?
The charge of Chlorine in Lithium chloride is - because it takes Lithium's extra, negatively-charged electron.
What is the formula for the compound formed from fluorine and lithium?
Lithium and fluorine react together to form lithium fluoride which is an ionic compound.
