This is a model of a lithium atom. How likely is it that this atom would want to bond with another atom to fill it's outer shell?

The Answer Choices to the Question Is

A:This atom is very likely to bond with another atom.

B:This atom is only slightly likely to bond with another atom

C:This atom is not likely at all to bond with another atom.

And I Think The Answer Is A

I'd say extremely likely. Lithium is in group 1 - they're all very reactive. Although it's the least reactive of the group, it's still very reaction and therefore very likely to react to have a full outer shell. It would bond through ionic bonding, transfer its outer electron (very easily).

Hope this helps
