What is the valency of Lithium?

What is the valency of Lithium? Correct Answer 1

Valency is the combining power of an element. Elements in the same group of the periodic table have the same valency.

Key Points

  • Valency is the no of electron that looses, shared or gain to achieve stability or we can say to complete it outer most shell. 
  • If any element has valence electron (electrons present in outer most shell) less than 4
    • ​​Valency = no of valance electron (valence electron<4)
  • If any element has valence electron ​more than 4
    • ​​Valency = 8 - no of valance electron (valence electron>4)

​For Lithium:

  • Li(Z=3) Electronic configuration = 2, 1
    • Valency = no of valance electron  = 1

​Hence, we can conclude that 1 is the valency of Lithium.

In order to prepare Lithium nitride, air is passed gently over a reactor. Suppose that Nitrogen diffuse to a length 5cm before getting reacted with Lithium. Nitrogen reacts with lithium quickly so that partial pressure of Nitrogen at that point is 0. Reactor is a cylinder of length 10cm and diameter 2cm. Assume air to be a mixture of Nitrogen and Oxygen only. The temperature is 298K and total pressure 1atm. Diffusivity of N2 in O2 is 2*10-5m2/s. Calculate the Molar flux (mol/m2.s) of N2 at a distance of 2.5cm from the top with respect to an observer moving with twice the mass average velocity a direction towards the liquid surface. (R=8.205*10-5m3atmK-1mol-1). Assume z=0 at the top of the reactor.
