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)
When a lithium atom forms a Li plus ion the lithium atom does what?
The lithium atom lose an electron.
Would the lithium atom be positively charged if the bromine atom were to attract electron from lithium?
Positively (apex)
Why doesn't the number of neutrons identify an element?
To completely specify the type of atom, you would have to know the element and the isotope - that is, the number of protons and the number of neutrons. If either of these is different, you have a different type of atom. Isotopes of different elements (i.e., different number of protons) may have the same number of neutrons: in total, 118 elements are known (the number of protons can go from 1-118), but over 3000 types of atoms or isotopes are known.
Does an element contain different types of atom?
no
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)
When a lithium atom forms a Li plus ion the lithium atom does what?
The lithium atom lose an 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
Is lithium an atom?
Lithium is an element with 3 protons in each atom.
Is the lithium atom bigger than the Cesium atom?
Not at all; the cesium atom is far bigger than the lithium atom.
How many protons does a lithium atom have?
Based on the atomic number of lithium there are three protons in a lithium atom.
Which is larger francium or lithium?
The atom of francium is twice as high compared to lithium atom.
When a chlorine atom comes in contact with a lithium atom do they combine to form a compound?
Lithium and Chlorine produce the compound Lithium Chloride.
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.
Would the lithium atom be positively charged if the bromine atom were to attract electron from lithium?
Positively (apex)
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.
