Not at all; the cesium atom is far bigger than the lithium atom.
It all has to due with ionization energy. Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from an atom to make it an ion. Cesium has a lower ionization energy than Lithium, so it is easier to remove electrons, and thus lose electrons, from a Cesium atom than a Lithium atom.
Cesium needs more energy to become an ion than lithium because cesium has a higher ionization energy due to its larger atomic size and greater distance of valence electrons from the nucleus. This makes it more difficult to remove electrons from cesium compared to lithium.
Both cesium and lithium react by giving up the single electron int their outer shells. Cesium has a larger atomic radius than lithium does and more electron shells between the nucleus and the outer shell. As a result, cesium's valence electron is less attracted to the nucleus than Lithium's is and is therefore more easily removed.
The conductivity of lithium is less than cesium because lithium has smaller atomic size and higher ionization energy compared to cesium. This results in weaker metallic bonding and less mobile charge carriers in the lattice structure of lithium, leading to lower conductivity. Additionally, lithium also has a higher tendency to form covalent bonds, which further reduces its conductivity.
The boron atom has fewer electrons than the lithium atom. Lithium has 3 electrons in its neutral state, while boron has 5 electrons.
No, a silicon atom is larger than a sodium atom. This is because silicon has more electrons and protons than sodium, leading to a larger atomic radius.
A boron atom has fewer electrons than a lithium atom. Lithium has 3 electrons while boron has 5 electrons.
Boron has more protons. It has 5, lithium has 3.
Cesium has the largest atomic radius among calcium, iodine, potassium, and cesium. It is located at the bottom of the periodic table in Group 1 (alkali metals), and as you move down a group, atomic radius increases due to additional electron shells.
Potassium is the most reactive of the three metals (potassium, lithium, and sodium). It reacts vigorously with water, producing hydrogen gas and heat. Sodium is less reactive than potassium, while lithium is the least reactive among the three.
Lithium is not the largest atom. Atoms increase in size as you move down a column in the periodic table, so atoms in the bottom row (such as the noble gases) are generally larger than lithium.
In a lithium atom, the energy of the 2s subshell is lower than the energy of the 2p subshell.
