Answer:
Explanation:
As one moves down the vertical groupings of elements on the periodic table, it is evident that new shells are being added from top to down.
An atomic orbital is the region of space surrounding the nucleus where there is a high probability of finding an electron.
Down a group, the atomic radius increases as more shells are added to an atom.
photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.
Answer:
C) cation, loses, anion, gains
Explanation:
Lithium is a metal from Group 1, so it has 1 valence electron. Thus, it loses 1 electron to complete its octet and form the cation Li⁺.
Oxygen is a nonmetal from Group 16, so it has 6 valence electrons. Thus, it gains 2 electrons to complete its octet and form the anion O²⁻.
In the reaction between Li and O, there is a transfer of electrons making an ionic bond. In the bond, lithium would be a cation because it loses an electron, and oxygen would be an anion because it gains 2 electrons.
