How many electrons doe lithium gain or lose?
Lithium(Li) gains 1 electron to become stable.
What is the cation name for lithium when it loses an electron?
Li+ cation
A charged particle results from losing or gaining electrons?
Yes. A particle that loses an electron becomes an ion with a positive charge. A particle that gains an electron becomes an ion with a negative charge.
When an atom loses electron what do molecules do?
When an atom/molecule loses an electron, it is oxidized. The particle develops a positive charge, and thus becomes attractive to particles which have an opposite (negative) charge.
What is it when 2 atoms gain or loses an electron?
an ionic compound is formed
Does lithium lose an electron?
It loses an electron.
Phosphide is the name of the cation formed when lithium loses an electron?
NO, the correct one is : Phosphide is the name of the anion formed when Phosphorus gains 3 electrons.
How many electrons doe lithium gain or lose?
Lithium(Li) gains 1 electron to become stable.
How many electrons does lithium gain?
Lithium loses one electron when it reacts
What is the cation name for lithium when it loses an electron?
Li+ cation
What is formed when an atom gains or loses an electron?
a charged particle which is called an ion
How many electrons are there in the lithium ion?
Lithium loses one electron when fulfilling the octet rule. A neutral atom of lithium will have the same number of electrons as protons, 3. Therefore, a lithium ion will have one less electron, 2.
Why lithium highly reactive?
if lithium loses one electron it attains the stable noble gas electron configuration of helium. hence it is highly reactive.
An atom that gains or loses an electron and is a charged particle?
ionic bond
How many electrons would lithium use to form an ion?
Lithium loses one electron to become the cation Li+.
Ion is formed when an atom loses an electron?
This is half true. An ion is formed when an atom loses OR gains an electron. When it loses an electron it's called cation because it has a positive charge, and if it gains an electron it's called anion because it has a negative charge.
A charged particle results from losing or gaining electrons?
Yes. A particle that loses an electron becomes an ion with a positive charge. A particle that gains an electron becomes an ion with a negative charge.
