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.

What kind of chemical bonds are represented by the product in the following diagram?
katovenus [111]
The chemical bonds in CH4 are all single bonds. C only can bond 4 times because it needs 8 electrons in it's outer shell and only has four right now. The bonds represented are all single bonds because there are two electrons present on each side of the carbon. Two electrons, in this case, equals one bond.
