Li atom donates one electron to a Cl atom when Li+Cl- is to be formed as ionic compound (salt):
Li --> e- + Li+
Cl + e- --> Cl-
-------------- +
Li + Cl --> LiCl (or Li+Cl-)

What donates a proton?
Acids donate protons to solutions. HCl H + The proton donated. and Cl -
If an atom gains an electron it will become?
It depends on the way the electron is used. If the atom "uses" it by giving it away to some other atom or molecule, it becomes a positively charged cation. If it instead uses it by taking it into its own structure, it becomes a negatively charged anion.
What is the technical term for a molecule gains an electron?
It depends on which way it "lost" its electron. Ionization is the word for a charged atom, such as that of an atom which has lost or received an electron. Both Na+ and Cl- are ions and the sodium ion is the one who has lost an electron, while the chloride ion on the other hand has gained an electron.
What is the electron dot structure for OCl2?
Since it's not possible to paste images here one has to try to describe that using words. The "O" atom is the central part and is single-bonded to two "Cl" atoms (usually those two "Cl" atoms would be drawn to the left and right of the "O" atom).
Does Cl from 2ne1 have any tattoos?
no, cl does not have any tattoos
Will Li gain or lose when reacting to Cl?
Li loses one electrons. Cl gains the electron.
Will a cesium atom donate an electron to a chlorine atom to form isolated Cs plus and Cl - ions?
No
What is the formula for Li and Cl?
li cl
What 3 elements that are likely to donate 1 valence electron?
Elements in the 1st group have 1 valence electron. So they are likely to donate 1 electron to get more stable. potassium, rubidium and cesium are likely to donate 1 electron.
Arrange the following elements from greatest to least tendency to accept an electron. Cl S Si Mg Na?
From greatest to least tendency to accept an electron, they are F, O, C, Li, and Be.
How do lithium react with other elements?
Li mainly reacts with other elements by donating it's one lone valence electron to become Li+ and then it forms an ionic bond. For example, Li reacts with Cl by donating an electron and making LiCl.
What is the oxidation number of Li and Cl in LiCl?
+1 for Li and -1 for Cl
Do metals donate or accept electrons and what do they become?
Metals donate electrons by losing electrons and forming positive ions.
How many valence electrons need to be accommodated in the Lewis structure for LiCl?
You will have 8 valence electrons around Cl (it usually has 7 but gained one from Li). There are no valence electrons to show around Li because it gave it's valence electron to Cl. Answered by a chemistry teacher.
Does sodium donate or accept an electron?
It has a positive charge of +1 so it has the ability to donate one electron.
When sodium reacts with chlorine does sodium donate an electron to chlorine and become a positively charged ion?
Yes, Sodium chloride is an ionic compound composed of Na+ and Cl- ions.
How do you write a positive Li atom and a negative Ci atom?
Li+ and Cl-
