Explain why Lithium (Li) and Nitrogen (N)/ have different amounts of valence electrons but

Chemistry
1 answer:
sveticcg [70]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Li⁺, Na⁺ (group 1);  N⁻³ (group 15)

Explanation:

Li and Na belong to group 1 of the periodic table so they coincide in the valence electrons which, being group 1, is a single electron.

They are very willing to lose it because they have little electronic affinity. In addition, both elements enter the alkali metal group (all of group 1)

They are cations, as they make ionic bonds.

N is an element from group 15. It is a nonmetal and has 5 electrons in its last layer as all the elements that make up its group, P, As, Sb so it would subtract 3 more electrons to have its last complete level and thus reach noble gas configuration.

Nitrogen can make covalent bonds, for example with O, where they form anions because it can gain electrons.

The images show two unrelated events occurring at separate times.
madreJ [45]

Event 1 is an example of a chemical reaction.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Whenever there is a chemical reaction, we can find that by means of a color change, formation of any gas, vapors, bubbles or any color or colorless precipitation, or by means of heat generation.

In the event 1 there is only a clear liquid in the beaker again it is added to a clear liquid in another beaker, forming an orange colored liquid , which shows that there is an occurrence of some chemical reaction.

So Event 1 is most likely an example of a chemical reaction.
