Why does the lithium atom develop a positive charge?​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anuta_ua [19.1K]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

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.

Explanation:

Lithium, an alkali metal with three electrons, is also an exception to the octet rule. Lithium tends to lose one electron to take on the electron configuration of the nearest noble gas, helium, leaving it with two valence electrons.

HURRY PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:


When <em>a scientist on Earth drops a hammer and a feather at the same time an astronaut on the moon drops a hammer and a feather, the result</em>  expected is that <em>the hammer hits the ground before the feather on Earth, and the hammer and feather hit at the same time on the moon (option D).</em>


Explanation:


In the abscence of atmosphere (vacuum), the objects fall in free fall. This is, the only force acting on the objects is the gravitational pull, which is directed vertlcally downward.


Under such absecence of air, the equations that rules the motion are:


  • V = Vo + gt
  • d = Vo + gt² / 2
  • Vf² = Vo² + 2gd

As you see, all those equations are independent of the mass and shape of the object. This explains why <em>when an astronaut on the moon drops a hammer and a feather at the same time</em>, <em>the hammer and feather hit at the same time on the moon</em>, a space body where the gravitational attraction is so small (approximately 1/6 of the gravitational acceleration on Earth) that does not retain atmosphere.


On the other hand, the air (atmosphere) present in Earth  will exert a considerable drag force on the feather (given its shape and small mass), slowing it down, whereas, the effect of the air on the hammer is almost neglectable. In general and as an approximation, the motion of the heavy bodies that fall near the surface is ruled by the free fall equations shown above, so, <em>the result </em>that is<em> expected  when a scientist on Earth drops a hammer and a feather at the same time is that the hammer hits the ground before the feather</em>.

A ________ reaction occurs when one compound reacts and is broken down into different elements or simpler compounds?
faust18 [17]

Answer: decomposition

Explanation:

1 . Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide ans water along with liberation of large amount of energy.

2. Decomposition is a type of chemical reaction in which a single reactant gives two or more than two products.

CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2

3. Single replacement is a type of chemical reaction in which a more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its slat solution.

4. Synthesis is a type of chemical reaction in which two or more than two reactants combine together to give a single product.

Determine the concentration of a solution made by dissolving 44.0 g of calcium chloride (CaCl2) in 0.30 L of solution. SHOW YOUR
ycow [4]

Answer:

[CaCl₂] = 1.32 M

Explanation:

We know the volume of solution → 0.30 L

We know the mass of solute → 44 g of CaCl₂

Let's convert the mass of solute to moles.

44 g . 1 mol / 110.98 g = 0.396 moles

Molarity (mol/L) → 0.396 mol / 0.3 L  = 1.32 M
