Lithium loses one electron when it reacts
Lithium(Li) gains 1 electron to become stable.
it really depends i know for sure that its 3 electron clouds
Lithium has 1 valence electron.
The number of electron shells in a normal Lithium atom is 2. It has an electron configuration of 1s22s1
Both lithium and potassium are in Group I of the Periodic Table, so they both have one valence electron.
Lithium have available for bonding one electron.
When lithium bromide (LiBr) forms, lithium (Li) loses one electron to bromine (Br), which gains that electron. Therefore, one electron transfers between the lithium and bromine atoms during the formation of LiBr.
The valence electron of a lithium atom is in the 2s orbital. It is easily removed to form a lithium ion with a charge of +1 because lithium only has one valence electron, making it relatively easy to lose.
It has (and can donate) its only one valence electron: Lithium is in group 1.
It loses an electron.
Lithium has one valence electron.
