How many electrons doe lithium gain or lose?
Lithium(Li) gains 1 electron to become stable.
What happens when a lithium atoms has lost an electron comes near a chlorine atom that has gained an electron?
The compound lithium chloride (LiCl) is formed.
What type of bonding would be expected between atoms I and F?
Ionic bonding---with such different electronegativities it would be hard for lithium and fluorine to share electrons in a covalent bond. It is far more energetically favorable for the lithium atom to transfer an electron to fluorine to form Li+ and F- and then have those two hook up to form an ionic bond.
What is the noble-gas configuration for lithium (Li)?
[He] 2s1
Is there any situation where an electron will have a charge not quantized ExOutside of an atom and if so what would happen if it had exess energy when it goes to an orbit?
The charge of an electron is always −1.602176487(40)×10−19 Coulomb. If an electron is ejected from it's orbital the energy it absorbs is in the form of kinetic energy i.e. how fast it moves. If the electron goes back into an orbital it will only be allowed in an orbital that allows for it's energy. If an atom has an electron and that electron absorbs the energy from an incoming photon it may jump up to a higher orbital or it may be ejected. The ejected electron is the principle of the photo-electric effect.
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.
From which orbital in a lithium atom is an electron transferred to form Li ion?
From the second s orbital: Li(1s2, 2s1) --> Li+(1s2, 2s0) + 1e-
Will lithium gain one electron when it reacts to form a compound?
No. Lithium will lose an electron.
What is the valance electron of lithium atom that is easily remove to form a lithium with a charge of 1?
the valence electron of lithium that is easily removed is the 1s2 electron
How many electrons doe lithium gain or lose?
Lithium(Li) gains 1 electron to become stable.
Lithium has one valence electron Bromine has seven valence electrons How might they form a chemical bond?
lithium donates an electron to bromine
What happens when a lithium atoms has lost an electron comes near a chlorine atom that has gained an electron?
The compound lithium chloride (LiCl) is formed.
How many electrons would lithium use to form an ion?
Lithium loses one electron to become the cation Li+.
What are facts about lithuim from the periodic table?
Lithium is in Group 1. It is an alkali metal. Neutral atoms of lithium have one electron in their outermost 2s energy level. Because of this, lithium atoms will lose their outermost electron to nonmetals to form ionic compounds, such as lithium chloride, or lithium oxide. When a lithium atom loses its outermost electron, it becomes a lithium cation with a charge of 1+. A cation is a positively charged ion.
How many electrons does lithium loses?
Lithium gives one electron to another atom to form a stable mono-positive ion.
A lithium atom that has lost an electron it comes near a Chlorine atom that has gained an electron what happens?
They form an ionic compound
What happens when a lithium atom that has lost a electron comes near a chlorine atom that has gained a electron?
they form an ionic compound.
