This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a Periodic Table.
Seven electrons should be added to attain the higher noble gas configuration.
The symbol for an element that does not need eight electrons to have a full set of valence electrons is typically found in Group 1 or Group 2 of the periodic table. Examples include lithium (Li) from Group 1 and beryllium (Be) from Group 2. These elements follow the duet rule or satisfy the octet rule in a different way.
To determine how many lithium atoms are needed to match the mass of one silicon atom, we first look at their atomic masses. Silicon has an atomic mass of about 28.09 u, while lithium has an atomic mass of about 6.94 u. Dividing the mass of silicon by the mass of lithium, approximately 28.09 u / 6.94 u ≈ 4.05. Therefore, you would need about 4 to 5 lithium atoms to equal the mass of one silicon atom.
To determine the percentage of lithium-7, we need to calculate the relative abundance of each isotope considering their atomic masses. Given that the atomic mass of lithium-6 is 6.015 and that of lithium-7 is 7.016, the percentage of lithium-7 is approximately 92.5% based on natural abundance.
Selenium needs two more electrons.
Seven electrons should be added to attain the higher noble gas configuration.
Cesium needs more energy to become an ion than lithium because cesium has a higher ionization energy due to its larger atomic size and greater distance of valence electrons from the nucleus. This makes it more difficult to remove electrons from cesium compared to lithium.
Sulfur can form compounds with lithium, such as lithium sulfide (Li2S) or lithium polysulfides. These compounds are typically formed through chemical reactions where lithium donates its electrons to sulfur to create stable compounds.
ONE electron Lithium is a Group (I) metallic elementy like sodium, potassium etc., It has one electron in its outer most energy shell , which it readily ionises (loses). Li(g) = Li^(+) + e^(-)
Hydrogen is an atom that does not need 8 electrons in its outer energy level to be stable. Hydrogen only needs 2 electrons to fill its outer energy level.
The nucleus would become unstable because you need a certain amount of neutrons, electrons, and protons for it to be stable.
Lithium only needs to lose one electron (and thus become positive) to achieve the same electron configuration as Helium which is extremely stable. The other option would be to gain 7 electrons to become like Neon which would be very energetically unfavorable.
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.
I've edited the question so it makes any sort of sense. The answer would be 4 electrons. You need an equal number of electrons and protons to be neutral. Neutral just means neither positive or negative. Electrons are -1 and protons are +1. The only way to not be particularly one or the other is to have them both in equal amounts.
8 electrons
Three pairs of electrons.
