Li2O.. Because Li is +1 and O2 is -2
hram777 [196]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Atomic number of lithium is 3 with electronic distribution 2, 1. So, to attain stability lithium loses 1 electron and becomes Li^{+} ion.

Atomic number of oxygen is 8 with electronic distribution 2, 6. So, to attain stability oxygen needs to gain two electrons and thus becomes O^{2-} ion.

Therefore, a neutral molecule will have charges balanced between the combining atoms.

Hence, when lithium and oxygen atoms combine together then they will form compound Li_{2}O.

When was the idea of an atom first developed? Describe this theory.
malfutka [58]

The existence of an atom was first suggested by Democritus, the idea is then developed in 1803 by John Dalton.

According to Dalton's atomic theory, matter is made up of atoms which are inseparable and can not be destroyed further. For a given element, all atoms have identical mass and properties. Atoms of two different elements combine to form compounds and rearrangement of these atoms results in chemical reaction.
