Lithium has one valence electron while Oxygen has six. If lithium atoms bond with
oxygen atoms, what will be the correct chemical formula?

OLIO

Li2O

OLI 02

O Li 06


Sagot :

Since Lithium has one valence electron that means it needs to lose it to form a stable structure. That means it's valence is equal to one. Oxygen has six atoms, in order to form a stable octet structure it needs to accept 2 electrons, therefore it's valence is 2.

Therefore two Lithium atoms bond with one oxygen atom to form Li2O
