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.

ValentinkaMS [17]

The correct answer is <em>B. a Salt </em><em>because The reaction of an acid and a base is called a neutralization reaction because the properties of both the acid and base are diminished or neutralized when they react. A neutralization reaction is a reaction of an acid with a base in aqueous solution to produce water and a salt, as shown by the following equation:</em>

<em>acid + base → salt + water</em>
