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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Maru [420]3 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.
