Discuss the chemistry of Li with reference to
(a) electronic configuration
(b) position of pt
(c) extraction of li from its ores
Answers
Li= e.c=2,1
it lies in group 1and period 3 of periodic table
Allah is extracted from its ore in the form of its oxides =LiO2
hope this helped you!!
Answer :
a) electronic configuration of Li - 1s² 2s¹
b) position of Li in periodic table - Li is a s block element , it is placed in the first group and second period .
c) extraction of Li from its ores - Lithium is highly reactive alkali metal that offers immense heat and electrical conductivity . Due to its high reactivity , pure elemental Lithium is not found in nature but are generally found in the forms of salts and other compounds like Lithium carbonate . Lithium salts are found in deposites of clay, brine, mineral ore.
Lithium extraction is a chemical process in which lithium is isolated and converted to a saleable form of lithium.
