Answer:

First ionization of lithium:

\text{Li}\;(g)\to \text{Li}^{+} \; (g) + \text{e}^{-}.

Second ionization of lithium:

\text{Li}^{+}\;(g) \to\text{Li}^{2+} \;(g) + \text{e}^{-}.

Explanation:

The ionization energy of an element is the energy required to remove the outermost electron from an atom or ion of the element in gaseous state. (Refer to your textbook for a more precise definition.) Some features of the equation:

  • Start with a gaseous atom (for the first ionization energy only) or a gaseous ion. Write the gaseous state symbol (g) next to any atom or ion in the equation.
  • The product shall contain one gaseous ion and one electron. The charge on the ion shall be the same as the order of the ionization energy. For the second ionization energy, the ion shall carry a charge of +2.
  • Charge shall balance on the two sides of the equation.

First Ionization Energy of Li:

  • The products shall contain a gaseous ion with charge +1 \text{Li}^{+}\;(g) as well as an electron \text{e}^{-}.
  • Charge shall balance on the two sides. There's no net charge on the product side. Neither shall there be a charge on the reactant side. The only reactant shall be a lithium atom which is both gaseous and neutral: \text{Li}\;(g).
  • Hence the equation: \text{Li}\;(g) \to \text{Li}^{+}\;(g) + \text{e}^{-}.

Second Ionization Energy of Li:

  • The product shall contain a gaseous ion with charge +2: \text{Li}^{2+}\;(g) as well as an electron \text{e}^{-}.
  • Charge shall balance on the two sides. What's the net charge on the product side? That shall also be the charge on the reactant side. What will be the reactant?
  • The equation for this process is \text{Li}^{+} \; (g) \to \text{Li}^{2+}\;(g) + \text{e}^{-}.

<h2>ANSWER:</h2>

Yes, in this group both events "Oddems Family" and "Thirteenth Night" are mutually exclusive.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Mutually exclusive is an statistical term which means the probability of occurrence of two separate event at the same time is zero. It means two events can not be occurred simultaneously.

For example, if we roll the deck ant the probability of coming 1 and 6 at the same time is zero and both events do not depends upon each others occurrence.

Hence only one drama can run in theater at one time. So they are mutually exclusive events.
