What happens to a Lithium atom for it to become an Li+1 ion?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Maru [420]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

If an atom gains or loses an electron, it bacomes an ion. An atom that gains a negative electron, it becomes a negative ion. If it loses an electron it becomes a positive ion

Explanation:

A lithium atom has 3 protons and 3 electrons. It can lose one of its electrons, making it an ion. It now has more positive protons than electrons so it has an overall positive charge. Therefore it is a positive ion.

A fluorine atom will tend to gain, rather than lose, an electron. By gaining a negative electron, it has an overall negative charge. It has become a negative ion.

Define a transverse wave
Mumz [18]
Transverse wave, motion in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave's advance. Surface ripples on water, seismic S (secondary) waves, and electromagnetic (e.g., radio and light) waves are examples of transverse waves.

Which element would be expected to have chemical and physical properties closest to those of rubidium?
DIA [1.3K]
Rubidium is an element that belongs to Group 1.  As such it will have physical properties similar to the other Group 1 elements.  Rubidium is below Potassium in the periodic table but above Cesium.  As such it would be most like one of those two elements.

Explain why the first ionisation energy of krypton is greater then the first ionisation energy of bromine
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Kr has one more electron than br and so, the nuclear charge increase, which means the nuclear attraction between the nucleus and outer most electron will increase and so will be harder to remove the electron from Kr than Br, so Kr has higher 1st ionisation.

Mark me brainliest!

God bless!
