Why does lithium form a 1 ion?.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alik [6]1 year ago
5 0

When the electrons are filled in the electron shells in lithium it's 2,1 it forms a +1 charge because it needs to loose one electron inorder to gain stable elctronic configuration

<h3>What is lithium ?</h3>

Chemical element lithium has the symbol Li and atomic number 3. A soft, silvery-white alkali metal, it is. It is the least dense solid element and the least dense metal under typical conditions.

  • 3 protons and 3 electrons make up an atom of lithium. It is capable of losing an electron, turning it into an ion. Now that it has more positive protons than negative ones, it is positively charged overall. Consequently, it is a positive ion.

  • Compared to most of the other Periodic Table elements, lithium has a larger atomic radius. Lithium has a positive charge when in compounds.

What energy transfer is occurring when a plant uses energy from the sun to make sugar in fruit? Radiant energy is converted to n
IrinaK [193]

The right answer is Radiant energy is converted to stored chemical energy.

Photosynthesis aims to create energy (in the form of carbohydrate) from the light energy from the sun.

Solar energy is used to oxidize water and reduce carbon dioxide to synthesize organic substances (carbohydrates). This phenomenon occurs in chloroplasts, a plant-specific organelle, at the level of the thylakoid membranes where photosystems I and II and cytochromes are located.
