Why is the Lithium ion (Li+1) stable even though it does not have an octet?

1 answer:

6 0

I think Lithium, an alkali metal with three electrons, is also an exception to the octet rule. Lithium tends to lose one electron to take on the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas, helium, leaving it with two valence electrons. There are two ways in which atoms can satisfy the octet rule

Relative to electrons and electron states, what does the ml quantum number specify

Anastaziya [24]

<span>Magnetic quantum number specify orientation of electrons in magnetic field </span>and number of electron states (orbitals) in subshells..
Magnetic quantum number (ml) specifies the orientation in space of an orbital of a given energy and shape . Magnetic quantum number divides the subshell into individual orbitals which hold the electrons, there are 2l+1 orbitals in each subshell. For example, p orbitals (and their electrons) have three orientations in spase (px, py and pz).
