How does a lithium cation compare to a lithium atom?
kirill [66]

Lithium cation and Lithium atom can be compared as follow;

<h3>1) Charge:</h3>

              The charge on Lithium atom is zero means, it has same number of protons and electrons. Hence, the nert effect is cancelled out and the atom gets zero charge.

               On the other hand, Lithium cation is formed when it looses one electron. Therefore, the number of protons are greater by one number as compared to number of electrons resulting in the formation of +1 charge as shown below,

                                                Li    →    Li⁺¹  +  e⁻

<h3>2) Size:</h3>

           Secondly, Lithium atom has greater size as compared to Lithium cation because due to presence of greater number of protons compared to electrons in Lithium cation the nuclear charge appears to be greater as compared to neutral atom hence, pulling the valence electrons more effectively making the lithium cation smaller in size as compared to neutral atom.

<h3>3) Reactivity:</h3>

                     We can also compare the reactivity of both species. The neutral will be more reactive than the charged atom because it is containing one valence electron and can donate it when ever it comes in contact with non-metals.

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

An oil spill is a catastrophic event in the environment. It can negatively affect both plants and wildlife while causing human suffering and economic losses. An oil spill needn't be on the scale of the Exxon Valdez or Deepwater Horizon disasters. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that 200 million gallons of used oil are disposed of improperly each year.

Spilled oil floats on the surface of the water, blocking the sunlight, from reaching the plants within the body of water. Spilled oil may also directly coat the leaves of plants -- where most of the work of photosynthesis occurs -- reducing or blocking out sunlight. Without sunlight, plants lack the energy needed to undergo photosynthesis.

An oil spill can impact photosynthesis by reducing water quality. Not only does the presence of oil directly poison the water, but the spill can kill sea life, birdlife and other wildlife that uses an aquatic habitat. A large die-off can increase bacteria levels and lower the pH of a body of water. The reduction in water quality can stress plants, essentially halting photosynthesis.
