An electron has a negative charge. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positive ion.
When an atom of lithium loses an electron and becomes an ion, it has one less electron shell, so its radius is smaller than the radius of the atom.
The answer is 3.

notsponge [240]

Answer:

To the right.

Explanation:

The chemical equilibrium is a state of a reactant system in which they are not observed changes as time goes by, even though the reaction continues. In other words, the chemical equilibrium is established when there are two opposite reactions which take place simultaneously at the same speed.

The variation in the concentration of any of the species involved in the equilibrium varies the value of the concentrations of the remaining species in the equilibrium.

In this case the concentration of one of the reaction reagents varies, increasing it since there is a greater amount of CO. This causes the balance to change to the products to compensate for the reaction. Then the balance goes to the right.

A titration graph shows little resistance to a change in pH at the start and has a single equivalence point of 8.6.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer: A weak acid titrated by a strong base

Explanation:

The graph refers to the titration of a weak acid such as Hydrofluoric acid with a strong base such as Sodium Hydoxide. What happens is that as the process begins, the pH rises quickly as there is little resistance to the base.

After some time the solution formed begins to act as a buffer between the remaining acid and the base. This reduces the pH change rate and will continue until the base overcomes the solution's buffering capacity.

The Equivalence point which is where the acid will be at it's base form, will be at a pH of 8.6.

I have attached a graph showing the process for better understanding.
