The atomic number of Li is 3. So it must have three protons within its nucleus. Now the number of neutrons could be the same, three, in the isotope lithium-6 (present 7.5% in nature) or more often four (present 92.5% in nature), in the isotope lithium-7. But the term neutral used by you may enquire about the number of electrons????
-----------------------------------------------------------
Neutral lithuium atoms don't necessarily have to contain more neutrons than protons. They can, but the number of neutrons does not affect an atom's charge. A neutral lithium atom must contain the same number of protons and electrons, but the number of neutrons can be more, the same, or less than the number of protons.
yes ive done research on this i belong to the atom study society of cambrigde there are 19 protons and 20 neutrons
Look at a Periodic Table. Potassium has Z=19, sodium has Z=11. Thus an atom of potassium has more protons in its nucleus than does an atom of sodium.
Any neutral atom (not just potassium) has the same number of protons and electrons.
19
Neither.
3 protons, 4 neutrons and 3 electrons
Lithium-6 and lithium-7 are two different isotopes of lithium. All lithium atoms have 3 protons, but they may have different numbers of neutrons. Lithium-6 has 3 neutrons ans lithium-7 has 4 neutrons.
Protons: 5 Neutrons: 7 Electrons: 5
Lithium has 3 protons. The atomic number and the number of protons will be the same.
if yu are referring to elcetons, protons, and neutrons then: 19 protons and electrons and 20 neutrons
3 protons, 4 neutrons and 3 electrons
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 protons neutrons and electrons does lithium have? 3 protons 4 neutrons 3 electronsA lithium atom has three protons and so three electrons. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope, with the two naturally occurring stable isotopes of lithium, 6Li and 7Li, having 3 and 4 neutrons respectively.3: In any neutral atom, there are the same number of electrons as of protons, and the number of protons is the same as the atomic number, which for lithium is 3.
Lithium has three protons and three electrons. The number of electrons always equals the number of protons. Lithium has two isotopes, one with three neutrons and one with four neutrons.
The atomic number of lithium is 3. Therefor there are 3 protons and neutron in the nucleus of lithium. Lithium also has 4 neutrons. atomic # = protons and neutrons neutrons = rounded atomic mass - atomic number Sources- 7th grade Acc. Science
Lithium: It has 4 neutrons and 3 protons.
All atoms contain protons, neutrons and electrons.
An atom of lithium isotope 6Li has 3 electrons and 3 protons and 3 neutrons.
The atom is composed of 3 parts. The pronton (positive), the neutron (neutral) and the electron (negative).
neutrons are neutral they have 0 charge
All chemical elements contain protons, neutrons and electrons.
