Answer:

The outer shells of non-metal atoms gain electrons when they form ions. The ions formed are negative because they have more electrons than protons

Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons. Gaining electrons changes an atom into a negative ion. Losing electrons changes an atom into a positive ion. Individual atoms often do not form ions by themselves.

If you need to make 240 g lioh, how many grams of li3n must you react with excess water?
Savatey [412]
Answer is: 116,1 g of Li₃N.
Chemical reaction: Li₃N + 3H₂O → 3LiOH + NH₃.
m(LiOH) = 240g.
n(LiOH) = m(LiOH) ÷ M(LiOH).
n(LiOH) = 240 g ÷ 24 g/mol = 10 mol.
from chemical reaction: n(LiOH) : n(Li₃N) = 3 : 1.
10 mol : n(Li₃N) = 3 : 1.
n(Li₃N) = 3,33 mol.
m(Li₃N) = n(Li₃N) · M(Li₃N)
m(Li₃N) = 3,33 mol · 34,85 g/mol = 116,1 g.
