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

What do ionic compounds form
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

By the result of the formation of positive and negative ions, Ionic compounds are formed.

Explanation:

Electrons are actually transferred from one atom to another to form rare gas electron structures for each ion. The atom which forms a positive ion loses electrons to the atom which gains electrons to form a negative ion. A compound is not stable unless the number of electrons which are lost and gained are equal

Cu + 2AgNO3 →
netineya [11]

Answer: 292.54g of Ag

Explanation:

Cu + 2AgNO3 →Cu(NO3)2 + 2 Ag

mass conc. Of Ag = n x molar Mass

Mass conc. Of Ag = 2 x 108 = 216g

From the equation,

63.5g of Cu produced 216g of Ag

Therefore, 86g of Cu will produce Xg of Ag. i.e

Xg of Ag = (86 x 216)/63.5 = 292.54g

What can you tell by tracking oxidation numbers?
Alla [95]

<u>Answer</u>:

By tracking oxidation numbers we can identify the number electron in the atom

<u>Explanation</u>:

Tracking of electrons helps us to know when and how many electrons get transferred from one atom to other atom . Oxidation  referred as the “loss of one or more electrons” by an atom. When the oxidation number of an element increases, there is a loss of electrons and that element is being oxidized. Oxidation numbers are usually written with the sign (+plus or −minus) followed by the magnitude, which is the opposite of charges on ions. In their elemental stage oxidation number of an atom is zero.
