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.

Sulfur hexafluoride, SF6, is a very stable, nonflammable gas at room temperature. It
Ira Lisetskai [31]
The first answer choice is correct: SF6 is a compound: it is a substance composed of more than one atom from different elements (sulfur and fluorine).

The second answer choice is incorrect: while SF6 is indeed a compound that contains seven atoms, those atoms are not identical since one is a sulfur atom and six are fluoride atoms.

The third answer choice is incorrect: SF6 is not an element because it can be separated chemically into simpler substances that are elements. All the atoms comprising an element must have the same number of protons (the same atomic number); sulfur and fluorine have different atomic numbers. There is no single nucleus in SF6; the S and six F atoms each has their own nucleus.

The fourth answer choice is incorrect; SF6 contains no carbon atom, and so wouldn’t meet a central criterion for an organic compound. Moreover, the formula SF6 indicates that the sulfur atom is not bonded to any other atom apart from fluorine atoms, and there are no bonding electrons left on the S. There is no plausible reason to think that a molecule with such weak intermolecular attractions as SF6 would form long chains of S atoms. Indeed, in standard conditions, SF6 is a gas.

Substances A, B, and C can all act as oxidizing agents. In solution, A is green, B is yellow, and C is red. In the reactions in
igor_vitrenko [27]

Explanation:

Oxidizing agents are defined as the agents which oxidize other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Reducing agents are defined as the agents which reduces the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

When oxidizing agent-A get reduced it changes green to colorless.

A+e^-\rightarrow A^-

When oxidizing agent-B get reduced it changes yellow to colorless.

B+e^-\rightarrow B^-

When oxidizing agent-C get reduced it changes red to colorless.

C+e^-\rightarrow C^-

1) When we added solution C that oxidizing agent-C in solution containing B^- ions changes from red to yellow:

C+B^-\rightarrow C^-+B(yellow)

So, in this C is oxidizing B^- ion into B which yellow in color.

C is reduced and B^- ions is oxidized.

Here, B^- are oxidized by C which means that C a better oxidizing agent than B.

2) When a solution of C is mixed with one containing A- ions, the color remains red.

C+A^-\rightarrow no reaction

As we had observed that no color change was seen on adding substance C to the solution with A^- ions which indicates that C was unable to oxidize A^- ions. Hence, not a better oxidizing agent than A
