Based on their locations on the periodic table, which two elements would you expect to form positive ions with a +3 charge?
Give the total number of electrons, the number of valence electrons, and the number of shells containing electrons in each of the following.
(a) a selenium atom
number of electrons
number of valence electrons
number of shells
(b) a phosphorus atom
number of electrons
number of valence electrons
number of shells
Lithium atoms, like hydrogen atoms, have only a single electron in their outer shells, yet lithium atoms do not join together to form Li2 molecules the way hydrogen atoms form H2 molecules. Instead, lithium is a metal with each atom part of a crystal lattice. Why?
