Explain how lithium atom is positive charge​

Chemistry
1 answer:
yulyashka [42]3 years ago
4 0
Lithium is an element that has an electronic configuration of 2,1. So when forming bonds, it tries to release one of its electrons in the last shell to reach the octet state. Normally when atoms release electrons they get positive charge since the number of protons which bear positive charge, is higher than number of electrons which bear negative charge. So when reaching its octet state, lithium gains positive charge!

Hope this helps! Tbh am not good at explaining. If u have any doubts, ask me!

The density of water at 400C is 0.992 g/mL What is the volume of 27.0 g of water at this temperature?
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Volume of water at this temperature is 27.2 mL

Explanation:

We know that density=\frac{mass}{volume}

Here density of water is 0.992 g/mL

Here mass of water is 27.0 g

So volume=\frac{mass}{density}

                         = \frac{27.0g}{0.992g/mL}

                         = 27.2 mL
