an ion is an atom that has lost or gained an electron (only electrons can be exchanged)

Lithium (=atom with 3 electrons, 3 protons an -mostly 3 neutrons) is capable to pass an electron to another element whitch results in Li+

(minus negative -> positive charge)

Are lithium-ion batteries going to be replaced by a new battery technology?

As with all technology, lithium-ion batteries wil eventually be replaced. A new combination of chemicals will be discovered and the litium-ion batteries will be knocked down in popularity. Cuurently lithium-ion batteries are the easiest, especially with the products they are used in. A litium-ion battery has a great battery life, but the length of life and strength of a battery is what consumers want, so when a new battery is created, with new chemicals, which provide a longer battery life, then the lithium-ion battery will no longer be the best.


What is the positive ion for lithium sulfide?

The positive ion for lithium sulfide is Li+ (lithium ion).


What happens to a lithium ion is attracted to a fluoride ion?

The lithium ion will be stripped of its electron by the flouride ion, resulting in an ionic bond, where the lithium atom will have 0 valence electrons and the fluoride ion will have 8


What is the cation and anion for lithium sulfide?

The cation in lithium sulfide is Li+, which is the lithium ion. The anion in lithium sulfide is S2-, which is the sulfide ion.


What charge does ion lithium have?

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


What happens when a lithium ion is attracted to an fluoride ion?

When a lithium ion is attracted to a fluoride ion, they may form an ionic bond to create lithium fluoride. The positively charged lithium ion is attracted to the negatively charged fluoride ion due to their opposite charges. This bond is typically strong and stable.


What does lithium look like with its superscript?

On the periodic table the metal Lithium is written Li


How many electrons are in Li ion?

A lithium ion (Li+) has one less electron than a neutral lithium atom. This means a lithium ion has 3 electrons.


How many neutron are there in the lithium ion?

The lithium ion is essentially the same as the lithium atom, except it has lost 1 electrons. The number of protons and neutrons remain the same. Thus, the lithium ion, Li+ has 3 neutrons, just like the lithium atom.


What is a lithium ion drill used for?

Lithium ion drills are used just like normal drills are. However, the lithium ion battery in a lithium ion drill lasts so much longer than normal batteries, and the fast charge is very quick.


What is the negative ion of lithium sulfide?

The negative ion of lithium sulfide is sulfide ion (S2-). This is formed when lithium sulfide (Li2S) dissociates into its ions in solution.


Is the lithium ion soluble?

Yes, a lithium ion is soluble in a number of things. It is certainly soluble in water.
