If one electron is removed from the lithium atom then the atom will become an ion (I believe) which is a positively charged particle.
The ionic compound LiCl is formed.
potato
Lithium(Li) gains 1 electron to become stable.
Li+ cation
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/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.
an ionic compound is formed
It loses an electron.
NO, the correct one is : Phosphide is the name of the anion formed when Phosphorus gains 3 electrons.
Lithium(Li) gains 1 electron to become stable.
Lithium loses one electron when it reacts
Li+ cation
a charged particle which is called an 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.
if lithium loses one electron it attains the stable noble gas electron configuration of helium. hence it is highly reactive.
ionic bond
Lithium loses one electron to become the cation Li+.
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.
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.
