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

When a lithium atom forms a Li plus ion the lithium atom does what?

The lithium atom lose an electron.


How many electrons does an atom of lithium need to lose to form an ion with a plus 1 charge?

To form a 1+ ion a lithium atom must lose 1 electron. The same goes for any other atom.


Which has high ionisation energy lithium or lithium plus?

lithium plus. removing electron from something that is positive is much harder.

What is lithium's charge?

A lithium ion has a charge of +1


What acid plus What base equals H2O plus CO2 plus LiNO3?

they actually aren't formed by acids or a bases, they are formed by atoms so it is impossible for you to make it yourself h20= 2 hydrogen atoms bonded with 1 oxygen co2= 1 carbon atom bonded with 2 oxygen atoms lino3= 1 lithium atom with 1 nitrogen atom and 3 oxygen atoms


What charge does ion lithium have?

A Lithium ion has a charge of plus one. Hope this helps!


Why sodium and lithium ions have 1 plus charge?

sodium and lithium are both in group 1


What symbol for the ion is formed if lithium loses 1 electron?

ok so you'll notice that lithium is on the second row of the periodic table, this means that its the next orbital hydrogen = 1s1 orbital helium = 2s1 orbital lithium = 2s1, 1s2 orbital removing the outter electron from lithium means that lithium has lost a minus charge and therefore must have a plus charge, this is called a cation. removing the electron also means now that there are no electrons in the s2 level do lithium is left with a 2s1 orbital, this is a very stable configuration and lithium wont loose any more electrons so your lithium ion will be nucleus with 3 protons 4 neutrons and 2 electrons with a plus charge to represent the loss of an electron
