If you just say lithium, it's probable you are referring to an atom. Lithium however can form an ion, Li+ (where the + should be a superscript). Without knowing the context it is not possible to give a definitive answer.

What is the charge of lithium atom after forming ion?
A lithium ion has a positive overall charge.
What happens when a lithium ion reaches a cathode?
The lithium ion is reduced to an atom of metallic lithium. (If liquid water is in contact with the cathode, however, each lithium atom will react very rapidly with water and become a lithium ion again, releasing hydrogen to the atmosphere.)
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 does an atom of lithium need to lose to form an ion with a plus 1 charge?
To form a 1+ ion a lithium atom must lose 1 electron. The same goes for any other atom.
Which atom lithium or cesium needs more energy to become an ion?
Lithium need more ionization energy.
When a lithium atom forms a Li plus ion the lithium atom does what?
The lithium atom lose an electron.
What is the charge of lithium atom after forming ion?
A lithium ion has a positive overall charge.
How many neutron are there in the lithium ion?
The lithium ion is essentially the same as the lithium atom, except it has lost 1 electrons. The number of protons and neutrons remain the same. Thus, the lithium ion, Li+ has 3 neutrons, just like the lithium atom.
What happens when a lithium ion reaches a cathode?
The lithium ion is reduced to an atom of metallic lithium. (If liquid water is in contact with the cathode, however, each lithium atom will react very rapidly with water and become a lithium ion again, releasing hydrogen to the atmosphere.)
What is the common use of a compound element lithium atom?
Generally, in Li-ion (or Lithium ion) batteries.
What happens when a lithium ion is attracted to a ion?
The lithium ion will be stripped of its electron by the flouride ion, resulting in an ionic bond, where the lithium atom will have 0 valence electrons and the fluoride ion will have 8
What happens to a lithium ion is attracted to a fluoride ion?
The lithium ion will be stripped of its electron by the flouride ion, resulting in an ionic bond, where the lithium atom will have 0 valence electrons and the fluoride ion will have 8
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.
Is the number of protons the same in the atom or ion of lithium?
The number of protons is the same in the atom and the ion of any element.
How many ions does an lithium atom have?
AnswerLithium has 9 isotopes. 2 isotopes are stable and 7 are radioactive.Lithium has 9 isotopes. 2 isotopes are stable and 7 are radioactive.
If a chlorine atom attracted an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would become?
Yes. Any atom that loses or gains electrons become charged. Positively charged If the chlorine atom attracts an electron from a lithium atom, they both become charged ions. The chlorine atom becomes a -1 charged chlorine ion and the lithium atom becomes a +1 charged lithium ion. Further the two ions combine to make the compound Lithium Chloride.
A lithium ion is different than a lithium atom because it?
The Li ion is different from the atom because it has positive charge. (Lithium is group 1 element and these lose 1 electron to form for example :Li+ , Na+ etc)
