Why does the lithium atom develop a positive charge?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
nikitadnepr [17]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Lithium develops a positive charge because it has one valence electron. Instead of lithium trying to steal 7 electrons from other elements to obtain an octet, it is easier to lose its one electron to become stable. Because neutral atoms contain the same amount of protons and electrons, when lithium loses one electron, there is one more proton than electrons.

In other words

Lithium has 3 protons and 3 electrons in its neutral state, but it loses one electron to become stable so it now has 3 protons and 2 electrons, and there is one more proton than electrons: +3 -2 = +1 charge

Magnesium ribbon reacts vigorously with hydrochloric acid. The test tube gets hot and bubbles are produced. When a metal reacts
oee [108]
The answer is C, hydrogen gas. This is because in single replacement reactions, the single element (here Magnesium) replaces whichever element in the compound it corresponds to. Because Mg loses electrons since it’s a metal, it will replace the element which also loses electrons, which is Hydrogen here. So when they switch places, MgCl2 and H2 are made— and H2 is the hydrogen gas.

Hi! please help me identify the IUPAC name for the structures ​
Snowcat [4.5K]

The IUPAC names of the organic compounds would be as follows:

1. Methanol or 1-Methanol

2. Propan-2-ol or 2-Propanol

3. 2-MethylButane

4. 1-Hexanol

5. 1-Heptanol

<h3>Naming organic compounds</h3>

In the naming of organic compounds, some fundamental rules come into practice. Some of these rules include:

  • The longest carbon chain, otherwise known as the parent chain, is considered.
  • The substituents must be identified
  • The parent chain should be named such that the substituents are located on the lowest-numbered carbons. Repeated substituents are named accordingly.
  • Different substituents are named alphabetically and substituents with lower alphabets are considered for the lowest-numbered carbons.

Following these rules and more, the name of the organic compounds whose structures are shown in the image would be as follows:

  • Methanol or 1-Methanol
  • Propan-2-ol or 2-Propanol
  • 2-MethylButane
  • 1-Hexanol
  • 1-Heptanol
