The mass of an electron 1/1823 amu's = 0.0005 amu's... the average mass of litium is 6.941 amu's. by losing an electron, the mass of average atomic mass of the Lithium doesn't really change much.

<u>Answer:</u> The average atomic mass of the lithium ion remains the same as lithium atom which is 6.94 amu

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass number is defined as the sum of number of protons and number of neutrons present in an atom. It is represented as A.

A = Mass number = Number of neutrons + Number of protons.

An ion is formed when a neutral atom looses or gains electrons.

  • When an atom looses electrons, it results in the formation of positive ion known as cation.
  • When an atom gains electrons, it results in the formation of negative ion known as anion.

So, the loss or gain of electrons does not effect the mass number of an atom. Thus, when lithium atom looses an electron to form lithium ion (Li^+), the average atomic mass of the ion remains the same as the neutral atom.

Average atomic mass of lithium atom = 6.94 amu

Hence, the average atomic mass of lithium ion is 6.94 amu.

1) How much energy would be required to melt 15.0 g of ice at 0°C?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

5010J

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 15g

Heat of fusion (ΔHf) = 334J/g

Heat required (Q) =..?

The heat energy required to melt the ice can be obtained as follow:

Q = m·ΔHf

Q = 15 x 334

Q = 5010J

Therefore, the heat energy required to melt the ice is 5010J.

Chemistry honors list of chemical compounds and its physical properties
Feliz [49]

solution:

Physical properties describe how a material looks. such as color, state of matter, shininess, Other physical properties include density, mp, bp, brittleness, malleability, conductivity, ductility, solubility in water. A physical property can be determined without changing the identity of the material.  

Chemical properties describe how a material behaves.such as does it burn, does it corrode, does it react with air, does it react with water, does it act like a metal by giving away electrons o like a nonmetal by taking electrons, what type of bonds will it form, or is it inert, is it acidic or basic, Chemical properties can only be determined during a chemical reaction.

What label is given to an orbital with quantum numbers n=4 and l=1?
shtirl [24]

The principal quantum number, <span>nn</span>, designates the principal electron shell. Because n describes the most probable distance of the electrons from the nucleus, the larger the number n is, the farther the electron is from the nucleus, the larger the size of the orbital, and the larger the atom is. n can be any positive integer starting at 1, as <span><span>n=1</span><span>n=1</span></span> designates the first principal shell (the innermost shell). The first principal shell is also called the ground state, or lowest energy state. This explains why <span>nn</span> can not be 0 or any negative integer, because there exists no atoms with zero or a negative amount of energy levels/principal shells. When an electron is in an excited state or it gains energy, it may jump to the second principle shell, where <span><span>n=2</span><span>n=2</span></span>. This is called absorption because the electron is "absorbing" photons, or energy. Known as emission, electrons can also "emit" energy as they jump to lower principle shells, where n decreases by whole numbers. As the energy of the electron increases, so does the principal quantum number, e.g., n = 3 indicates the third principal shell, n = 4 indicates the fourth principal shell, and so on.
