Lithium is an element that has an electronic configuration of 2,1. So when forming bonds, it tries to release one of its electrons in the last shell to reach the octet state. Normally when atoms release electrons they get positive charge since the number of protons which bear positive charge, is higher than number of electrons which bear negative charge. So when reaching its octet state, lithium gains positive charge!
Hope this helps! Tbh am not good at explaining. If u have any doubts, ask me!
Explanation:
molarity = no. of moles of solute/solution in litres
molarity =0.202/7.98
=0.025 M
Answer:
Element 1
Explanation:
The ionization energy is defined as the energy required to remove electrons from the atoms.
We know that the nucleus of the atom attracts the electrons, thus, bound these electrons to the atom.
This means that as the radius decreases, the force of attraction between the nucleus and the electron will increase, therefore, the energy required to remove the electron would increase (and vice-versa).
Based on the above, the atom with the smallest radius would be the atom with the largest first ionization energy.
Hope this help :)
