How many electrons does oxygen have to gain in order to achieve a noble-gas electron configuration?
Lithium has one valence electron. It is much easier for an atom to lose one electron than gain seven more. Lithium looses this one electron to achieve a full outer shell (the next inside shell is full).
How many electrons are on the outer shell of lithium?
A lithium atom has one electron on the outer shell. This is because there is 2 electrons maximum on the inner shell, so there is one left over for the outer shell. Hope you understand now xx
How many electrons to fill outer shell of oxygen?
Oxygen needs 2 electrons to fill it's valence shell which is why it forms a 2- ion.
How many energy levels does lithium have?
there are two protons in the first level and one proton in the second level of Lithium
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 shells in lithium?
The number of electron shells in a normal Lithium atom is 2. It has an electron configuration of 1s22s1

Number of electrons in the outer orbit of an atom of lithium?
A neutral atom of lithium has an electron configuration of 2,1. This means it has 1 electron in its outer shell.

Why does Li have a 0 charge?
Lithium does not have a '0' charge. Its electron configuration is 2,1. This means there is one valence electron in its outer shell. Losing this electron will make Lithium have a full shell (2 only) which all atoms try to achieve, therefore Li has a +1 charge because it loses an electron to gain noble gas configuration.
How many electrons in the third shell of lithium?
Electronic configuration of Lithium is 2,1. So in second shell it can hold 1 electron.If it will combine with some other element it will give out its electron in second shell.
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.
Why does oxygen have more electronegativity than hydrogen?
because oxygen needs 2 electron to complete it's valance shell. Whereas hydrogen does not want to complete it's valance shell, it wants to lose its electron.
What does adding one 2s electron for Lithium do to the energy of the 2 p electrons Why does this make sense?
Lithium belongs to atomic number 3 adding 1 electron in the energy shell does not make sense because it will still be unstable.
Elements that have 8 electron?
Oxygen has 8 electrons (2 in the inner shell, 6 in the outer).
