I've edited the question so it makes any sort of sense.
The answer would be 4 electrons.
You need an equal number of electrons and protons to be neutral.
Neutral just means neither positive or negative. Electrons are -1 and protons are +1. The only way to not be particularly one or the other is to have them both in equal amounts.

∙ 11y agoHaving 3 protons means that it is lithium, more specifically lithium-7, the stable isotope that comprises 92.5% of the lithium found on Earth. The rarer isotope, lithium-6, has only 3 neutrons.

∙ 15y agoThe number of electrons typically equals the number of protons, except in ions. Therefore, lithium (3 protons) should also have three electrons.

A lithium atom contains 3 protons 4 neutrons and 3 electrons. What would be formed if one proton is added to this atom?
As you already know the atom consists of protons, neutron and eletrons. The number of protons determins which chemical element it is, and on the periodic table of elements, we can see that the next element after lithium is beryllium.-An atom with 3 protons, 3 neutrons, and 3 electrons.- An atom with 3 protons, 5 neutrons, and 3 electrons
What does a lithium atom contain?
3 protons, 4 neutrons and 3 electrons
If a lithium atom contains 3 protons 4 neuthrons and 3 electrons what would be formed if one proton is added to this atom?
Beryllium has 4 protons, 5 neutrons, and 4 electrons
A lithium atom contains 3 protons 4 neutrons and three electrons. What would be formed if one proton is added to this atom?
Beryllium
How you can use an atomss mass number and atomic number to determine the number of protons electrons and neutrons in the atom?
number of protons and electrons present in an element is equal to the atomic number of that element while number of neutrons is equal to mass number - atomic number/number of protons/number of electrons.
Three basic parts of an atom?
An atom contain protons, neutrons and electrons.
What atom has 3 protons and 3 neutrons?
An atom of lithium isotope 6Li has 3 electrons and 3 protons and 3 neutrons.
Neutral atom with 53 protons in its nucleus would have how many electrons orbiting the nucleus?
For a standard atom, the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons is the same. For example: 2 Protons - 2 Neutrons - 2 Electrons Helium 3 Protons - 3 Neutrons - 3 Electrons Lithium 4 Protons - 4 Neutrons - 4 Electrons Beryllium So... 53 Protons - 53 Neutrons - 53 Electrons Iodine
