Lithium salts contain a lithium atom that is missing one valence electron (and therefore bears a positive charge). choose the correct lewis structure of the lithium cation.

Li⁺

Explanation:

The atomic number of lithium is 3, which means that it has 3 protons and 3 electrons. The electron configuration is [He] 2s¹ and its Lewis structure is Li·

When lithium loses an electron to form lithium cation, its Lewis structue is Li⁺ and it acquires the electron configuration of Helium: 1s².

these nuts

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.
