Not at all; the cesium atom is far bigger than the lithium atom.

Why is it easier to lose electrons from a cesium atom than from a 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.
What atom has the largest atomic radius calcium iodine potassium or cesium?
Potassium. It has two extra shells than lithium.
Is a sodium atom is larger than a silicon atom?
No. A cesium atom is larger both in terms of atomic mass and atomic radius.
Why is cesium more reactive than 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.
Why conductivity of lithium is less than cesium?
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.
Does a boron atom have less protons than a lithium atom?
Boron has more protons. It has 5, lithium has 3.
Does the boron atom has fewer or more electrons than lithium atom?
fewer
Which one is the most reactive metal potassium lithium or sodium?
Cesium. Cesium is the bad boy of the alkali metals, a period that's just jam-packed with seriously nasty elements. Cesium is reactive enough that if you were to put some water into dry ice, and wait till the ice got that cold itself before putting some cesium on it, the cesium would still react with it! Here's a remembrance: the higher an alkali metal's atomic number, the more reactive it is.
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)
Is a sulfur atom bigger than an phosphorous atom?
The neutral atom is bigger. The ion would be smaller because in order for magnesium to become a positively charged ion, it has to give up its valence electrons, which results in the removal of the outermost energy level. So instead of having three energy levels, the ion now has only two.
Compare the stability of a lithium atom with that of its ion Li plus?
Li+ means that the atom lost an electron. And this means it has now has a complete outershell, thus being more stable than the Lithium atom with 1 valence electron
