Question

Describe the formation of cations for Li

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Here is your answer..

Cations form when an atom loses one or more electrons. ...$Li^{+}$since Li will lose its 1 valence electron to be isoelectronic with a noble gas. Li+11 since Li will lose 11 valence electrons to be isoelectronic with a noble gas. Li+ since Li will gain 1 valence electron to be isoelectronic with a noble gas.

Thank u.

hope it is helpful..

Answer 2

Answer:

Li+ charge is on lithium ....

by electronic configuration...

atomic no. of lithium

is 3 so configuration= 2,1 so it need to loss one e- and get stable . so it get a cation....and have a complete octate.....
