Answer:

It will lose 1 electron

Its charge will be 1+, or simply (+)

Explanation:

Lithium it's located in the group one of the periodic table, the Alkali, and by rule, all Alkali are always gonna loose one electron during a chemical reaction to form a positive ion.

The charge is explained by the fact that, if lithium looses one electron, then it wi have less number of electrons than protons, meaning that, if there's a higher number of protons (positive charge), then the charge will be positive. And since the atom loosed one electron then its charge will be 1+

For example, during a chemical reaction calcium is always gonna loose 2 electrons, so its charge's gonna be Ca2+

Which best explains the evolution of gymnosperm plants?
grin007 [14]
The answer to this question about the evolution of the gymnosperm plants would be C. They evolved after the seedless vascular plants.

Gymnosperms, or sometimes termed as seed plants, are classified as vascular plants and has been thriving for centuries on earth through producing seeds. They are multicotyledonous and are the opposite of flowering plants. Conifers would be the most abundant group of gymnosperms while the cycads come in second. Gingko would place last with just having one species under its name.

AfilCa [17]

Polymers are made of individual subunit called monomer.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Polymers are lengthy chains built up of replicating molecular subunits, named monomers. The term polymer becomes from poly- (many) and -mer (part). A polymer may be a real or manufactured macromolecule composed of recurring units of a smaller molecule (monomers). The term monomer comes from mono- (one) and -mer (part).

Monomers make polymers by creating chemical bonds or confining supramolecular by a method called polymerization. Examples of polymers comprise plastics like polyethylene, silicones. Polymerization is the method of covalently bonding the smaller monomers into the polymer. While polymerization, chemical groups are failed from the monomers so that they may join together.
