Answer: The equation for this is given below.

Explanation:

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.

When water vapor condenses, how much heat energy will be released into the atmosphere?

Leona [35]

When water vapor condenses, 2260 joules/gram heat energy will be released into the atmosphere.

To add, heat energy (or thermal energy or simply heat) is defined as a form of energy which transfers among particles in a substance (or system) by means of kinetic energy of those particles. In other words, under kinetic theory, the heat is transferred by particles bouncing into each other.

Represent the decomposition of aluminum oxide using the same number of atoms of molecules as are

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Decomposition of aluminium oxide forms aluminium atoms and oxygen atoms.

Explanation:

Decomposition reaction:

When a single compound break down into two or more simpler products.

For example "AB" reactant undergoes decomposition to form "A" and "B" products.

The chemical reaction is as follows.

$AB\rightarrow A+B$
