Answer:

5

Explanation:

A lithium atom with an atomic number of 3 and a charge of -2 will have a total number of electrons.

The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom. For a neutral atom that has not gained or lost electrons, the atomic number is the same as the number of electrons.

   neutral atom: atomic number of electrons

For neutral atom of lithium, we will have 3 electrons

Now, lithium with a charge of -2 has gained two more electrons to the original 3 this now makes it 5.

ii.

It is an anion because it is negatively charged.

Negatively charged particles are called anion.

Stells [14]

Answer: 25%

Explanation: According to the Florida Industrial and Phosphate Research Institute, Florida’s phosphate mining  accounts for about 75% of the phosphate used in the United States, as well as about 25% phosphate used around the world.  Although first mined in England in 1847, and used as fertilizer, In  1881,  a civilian employee, J Francis Le Baron discovered Phosphate pebbles in peace river, and then, a hard rock phosphate district was discovered in north central Florida after that which began the Phosphate mining industry in Florida. Phosphorus rock  supplies the phosphorus element in the fertilizer mix of nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium that is used as fertilizer to aid in growth of plants.
