During the electrolysis of the molten lithium chloride, the Lithium ions (Li⁺) at the cathode undergoes reduction, and the electron configuration of lithium becomes 1s²2s¹.
<h3>What is electrolysis?</h3>
Electrolysis can be described as the process in which the electric current is passed through the chemical compound to break them. In this process, the atoms and ions are interchanged by the addition or removal of electrons.
The ions are allowed to move freely in this process. When an ionic compound is melted or dissolved in water then ions are produced which can move freely.
During the electrolysis of molten lithium chloride, the lithium ions reach the cathode and accept the electrons while chloride ions reach at anode and loss electrons to become chlorine gas.
At anode : 2 Cl⁻ → Cl₂ + 2e⁻
At cathode: 2 Li⁺ + 2e⁻ → Li

Answer:
Two advantages are: Its cheap and it is a renewable energy source. Two disadvantages are it's not windy everyday and it will take up a lot of space for windmills.
Explanation:
A) occurs when water is evaporated.
K stands for thousands
1 k = 1000
1 milli = 0.001
covert 878kg to g
878 x 1000=878000 g or (8.78^5)
convert g to mg
878000 / 0.001 =878,000,000
=8.78^8
^ or E means power of
