Electrons have negative charges, and unlike neutrons and protons are located on the outside of the atom. They are generally located in electron clouds around the atom, and stay there because of their attraction to protons that are in the nucleus of the atom.

Electrons move in orbits around the nucleus.

Electrons have negative charge. Electrons can only exist in specific energy orbitals.

Electrons never orbit in the space between various energy orbitals.

What can be expected to give a spectrum most closely like that of the Helium atom Lithium?

Helium has two electrons around a nucleus so you would look for an element that has two electrons more then filled shells. Lithium has 2 electrons in a filled shell and 1 electron more so it wouldn't work too well. Beryllium has 2 electrons in a filled shell and 2 electrons more so it would work pretty good. Magnesium has 2 electrons in a filled shell, 8 electrons in the next filled shell and 2 more electrons so it would also work pretty good.

A power line works by electrons flowing through from power line to power line but if something interferes with the power lines the flow of electrons will not work. (flow)
