<u>Answer:</u> The equation for this is given below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Lithium is the 3rd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of 1s^22s^1

This element will loose 1 electron to attain stable electronic configuration.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom looses its electron to form a positive ion.

The chemical equation for the formation of lithium ion from lithium atom follows:

Li\rightarrow Li^++e^-

Hence, lithium ion will form lithium cation by loosing 1 electron as shown in above equation.

Which is one characteristic of hurricanes?
siniylev [52]

Given the following choices, determine which best suits as a characteristic of a hurricane.

Answer Choices:

A. Hurricanes occur mostly inland

B. Hurricanes create widespread damage

C. Hurricanes can only last for a short amount of time

D. Hurricanes gain strength after passing overland

Best Answer: B. Hurricanes can create widespread damage.

Reason: A would not be correct since it is more of a variable, due to the fact that hurricanes usually begin near the coastlines, hurricanes are in fact capable of moving inland for atleast 100 miles before it dies down to a tropical storm or depression.

C is not correct since hurricanes can last up to a whole week which is approximately 168 hours.

D is not correct since it is another variable in which hurricanes can decrease in strength if it comes into contact with cool and dry air which is the opposite of warm and moist which it needs in order to occur.

Therefore, the best choice is B. Hurricanes can create widespread damage, hurricanes can unleash a staggering arsenal of mother nature's strength and the most damage a hurricane has caused can go up to 125 billion USD in damages.
