Question

When a lithium atom forms an Li+ ion, the lithium atom

  1. Gains a proton
  2. Gains an electron
  3. Loses a proton
  4. Loses an electron

hintHint:

It is an oxidation reaction.

The correct answer is: Loses an electron


    Lithium atom forms an Li+ ion,
    Li rightwards arrow Li+ + e-
    Lithium atom loses an electron to form lithium ion. It is an oxidation reaction.
