Please help I don’t know this question )): thank you !!(:p
1 answer:
The given data states that the 2-D diagram is representing Lithium molecule.
few things one must know before solving the question,
Lithium is a Alkali metal having 3 electrons, out of which two electrons lies in 1S orbital (K shell) & one electron lies in 2S orbital. To attain the stability ( nobel configuration) lithium requires 7 electron which is not possible at ordinary condition & it requires a huge amount of energy instead lithium loses one electron from outermost shell.
We know that when any atom loses a electron the oxidation number is written with plus(+) symbol.
Hence net charge on lithium ion is +1
