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.

What Happens When extra Solute is added to unsaturated ,saturated and supersaturated solution​
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

If More solute is added and it does not dissolve,then the original solution was saturated. if the added solute dissolves,then the original solution was unsaturated. A solution that has been allowed to reach equilibrium but which has extra undissolved solute at the bottom of the container must be saturated.

(03.05 LC)
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is 4

Explanation:

Boron trifluoride (BF₃) has a molecular geometry (as shown in the image in the question) referred to as trigonal planar; this is because each of the the fluorine atoms/molecules (bonded to the central boron atom) is placed in such a way that they form the three "end points"/"domains" of an equilateral triangle. Hence, the correct option is the last option.

Sav [38]
The type of cell that one will likely inject is OSTEOBLAST CELLS. Osteoblasts are cells that make bone. They do this by producing a matrix which becomes mineralized leading to increase in the bone mass. Injecting this type of cell will stimulates rapid healing of broken bones.

What are the concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions in a solution with pH 2.6?
Deffense [45]

Answer:

The concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions in a solution with pH 2.6 are 2.51*10⁻³ and 3.98*10⁻¹² respectively.

Explanation:

pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of an aqueous solution. The pH indicates the concentration of hydrogen ions present in certain solutions. Mathematically it is defined as the opposite of the base 10 logarithm or the negative logarithm of the activity of hydrogen ions, whose equation is

pH= -log [H⁺]

So, being pH= 2.6 and replacing in the definition of pH:

2.6= -log [H⁺]

[H^{+} ]=10^{-2.6}

[H⁺]=2.51*10⁻³

pOH is a measure of the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH⁻). The sum between the pOH and the pH results in 14:

pOH + pH= 14

So, being pH= 2.6:

pOH + 2.6= 14

pOH= 14 - 2.6

pOH= 11.4

The pOH is defined as the negative logarithm of the activity of the hydroxide ions. That is, the concentration of OH⁻ ions:

pOH= - log [OH⁻]

Being pOH= 11.4 and replacing

11.4= -log [OH⁻]

[OH^{-} ]=10^{-11.4}

[OH⁻]= 3.98*10⁻¹²

<u><em>The concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions in a solution with pH 2.6 are 2.51*10⁻³ and 3.98*10⁻¹² respectively.</em></u>

How are carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere affected by tectonic uplift of rocks and their resultant chemical weatheri
valina [46]

Answer:

The levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere are reduced

Explanation:

Tectonic uplift refers to the process by which the surface of the earth slowly rises either due to increasing upward force applied from the plates below the surface or decreasing downward force or weight of objects like melting glaciers acting from above. During uplift, land, as well as the sea floor rises forming mountains, plateaus and volcanic Islands.

During the process of weathering, carbon dioxide present in air combines with rainwater and forms carbonic acid. This acidic rainwater then falls on uplifted mountains and rocks weathering them in the process. Minerals present in the rock such as calcium, magnesium and sodium then combine with bicarbonate ions to form carbonates such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate which are found in shells of living and dead organisms and also form rocks such as limestone. In this way, carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere.
