Three. Since the atom is neutral the number of protons and electrons will be equivalent. Lithium is atomic number 3 indicating there are 3 protons in the element, hence three electrons.

∙ 13y agothe proton number of lithium is 3 (placed as the 3rd element in the Periodic Table) Since it has 3 protons in the nucleus, it has 3 electrons.
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoLithium is in group I and so it has 1 valence electron. That electron would be the 2s1 electron.

How many electrons are there in the lithium ion?
Lithium loses one electron when fulfilling the octet rule. A neutral atom of lithium will have the same number of electrons as protons, 3. Therefore, a lithium ion will have one less electron, 2.
How many electrons in a neutral atom of chlorine?
There are 17 electrons i a neutral atom of chlorine.
How many electrons are in lithium?
That depends what kind of ion it is: If its a +1 ion then it has 2 electrons. If its a +2 ion then it has 1 electron, and If its a +3 ion then it doesn't have any electrons. _________________________________________________ Usually the Lithium atom when ionized it loses its outer shell electron and hence remains with two electrons.
How many electrons would a neutral atom of cadmium have?
The neutral atom of cadmium has 48 electrons.
How many electrons does lithium 7 have?
A neutral lithium atom has 3 electrons, the same as the number of protons, which is the atomic number of lithium. There is no lithium ion with a charge of 7+. If you mean lithium with a mass number of 7, the number of protons is 3 and the number of neutrons is 4.
How many protonsnutrons and electrons are in lithuim?
Lithium's atomic number is 3. Thus, it has 3 protons in each atom, all of which have a +1 charge. To be electrically neutral then, lithium must also have 3 electrons per atom.
How many electrons are there in the lithium ion?
Lithium loses one electron when fulfilling the octet rule. A neutral atom of lithium will have the same number of electrons as protons, 3. Therefore, a lithium ion will have one less electron, 2.
How many electrons are in a neutral atom of Lithium-7?
3, the same as the number of protons, which is the same as the atomic number.
How many electrons in a neutral atom of chlorine?
There are 17 electrons i a neutral atom of chlorine.
How many electrons are in lithium?

If its a +2 ion then it has 1 electron, and If its a +3 ion then it doesn't have any electrons. _________________________________________________ Usually the Lithium atom when ionized it loses its outer shell electron and hence remains with two electrons.
How many electrons would a neutral atom of cadmium have?
The neutral atom of cadmium has 48 electrons.
How many electrons are present in a neutral barium atom?
A neutral barium atom has 56 electrons.
How many electrons does a neon have if its a neutral atom?
Neon has ten electrons and as a Nobel gas is generally neutral
How many electrons does lithium 7 have?
A neutral lithium atom has 3 electrons, the same as the number of protons, which is the atomic number of lithium. There is no lithium ion with a charge of 7+. If you mean lithium with a mass number of 7, the number of protons is 3 and the number of neutrons is 4.
How many electrons are in sodium when it is neutral?
The neutral atom of sodium has 11 electrons.
A potassium atom has how many electrons?
The neutral atom of potassium has 19 electrons.
How many valence electrons are in a neutral atom of fluorine?
A neutral atom of fluorine contains 7 valence electrons.
