What is the ion symbol for Lithium?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Bond [772]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Lithium is an alkali metal. The symbol for lithium element is ‘Li’. It belongs to group 1 of periodic table. Its electronic configuration is 1s2 2s1. It has one valence electron. So it loses one electron to attain stable configuration. Hence the symbol for lithium ion is ‘Li+’.

Explanation:

ithium is a chemical element with the symbol Li and atomic number 3. It is a soft, silvery-white alkali metal. Under standard conditions, it is the lightest metal and the lightest solid element. Like all alkali metals, lithium is highly reactive and flammable, and must be stored in mineral oil. When cut, it exhibits a metallic luster, but moist air corrodes it quickly to a dull silvery gray, then black tarnish. It never occurs freely in nature, but only in compounds, such as pegmatitic minerals, which were once the main source of lithium. Due to its solubility as an ion, it is present in ocean water and is commonly obtained from brines. Lithium metal is isolated electrolytically from a mixture of lithium chloride and potassium chloride.

Elements can be described by various properties, and identified by their boiling and melting points. For example, gold melts at
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Melting and boiling point variations are not clear (do not have uniform pattern) in periodic table. But we can see, some elements have higher melting and boiling points and some have less. Here we study melting and boiling points of s, p, d blocks elements. IVAth group elements (C,Si) show high melting and boiling points because they have covalent gigantic lattice structures.

What gets oxidized in a galvanic cell made with magnesium and zinc electrodes?
ankoles [38]

Answer: Magnesium

Explanation:

Galvanic cell is a device which is used for the conversion of the chemical energy produces in a redox reaction into the electrical energy.

The standard reduction potential for magnesium and zinc are as follows:

E^0_{[Mg^{2+}/Mg]}= -2.37V

E^0_{[Zn^{2+}/Zn]}=-0.76V

Reduction takes place easily if the standard reduction potential is higher (positive) and oxidation takes place easily if the standard reduction potential is less (more negative).

Here Mg undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Zinc undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

Mg\rightarrow Mg^{2+}+2e^-

Zn^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Zn

Thus magnesium gets oxidized.

16. A sample of nitrogen gas,
Lana71 [14]

find mol of N2 present using gas law equation

PV = nRT

P = pressure = 688/760 = 0.905 atm.

V = 100mL = 0.1L

n = ???

R = 0.082057

T = 565+273 = 838

Substitute:

0.905*0.1 = n*0.082057*838

n = 0.0905 / 68.76

n = 0.00132 mol N2

Molar mass N2 = 28 g/mol

0.00132 mol = 0.00132*28 = 0.037g N2 gas

Give the oxidation number of the element indicated for each compound.
NARA [144]

Answer:

a. C: +3 ; b. N: +5 ; c. S:+6 ; d. C: +4; e. Mn: +7 ; f. Cr: +6.

Explanation:

Global charges in molecules is 0

You sum all the oxidation states to determine the oxidation state for the compound.

Na₂C₂O₄ → Sodium oxalate → Global charge: 0

Oxidation state for C: +3

HNO₃ → Nitric acid → Global charge: 0

Oxidation state for N: +5

H₂SO₄ → Sulfuric acid → Global charge: 0

Oxidation state for S: +6

HCO₃⁻  →  Bicarbonate → Global charge: -1, this is an anion

Oxidation state for C: +4

KMnO₄ → Potassium permanganate → Global charge: 0

Oxidation state for Mn: +7

Cr₂O₇⁻ → Anion dichromate → Global charge: -2

Oxidation state for Cr: +6
