To change a lithium atom (Li) to a lithium ion (Li⁺), you need to remove one electron from the outermost shell of the lithium atom. This process typically occurs in a chemical reaction or through ionization, where energy is supplied to overcome the attraction between the negatively charged electron and the positively charged nucleus. As a result, lithium loses one electron, resulting in a positively charged lithium ion (Li⁺).
Li plus
Lithium atom become the cation Li+.
In the reaction between Li(s) and NaOH(aq), Li loses an electron and gains a positive charge, changing its oxidation state from 0 to +1. This occurs because Li donates its outer electron to Na, which reduces Na+ to Na(s).
Li + CN-this is Lithium CyanideLiCN
Fudge it!
it goes from +1 to 0
2
It's a chemical reaction.
In Li plus 1, the element is lithium (Li) which has 3 protons. Since it has a +1 charge, it means it has lost one electron, so it has 2 electrons.
lithium+1
Plus 1. Li^+1
