Lithium loses one electron when it reacts
Lithium can gain and lose electrons because it has three electrons in its outermost energy level. It can lose one electron to achieve a stable configuration like a noble gas, or gain seven electrons to complete its outer shell. This ability allows lithium to form different ions with different charges.
Lithium loses electrons.
The neutral atom of lithium has 3 electrons.
The element lithium has 3 protons and 3 electrons.
Lithium is a non metal element. There are 3 electrons in a single atom.
There are 3 electrons.

Lithium-7 has 3 electrons.
At the cathode in electrolysis of lithium chloride, lithium ions (Li+) gain electrons to form lithium metal (Li). This reduction reaction occurs according to the half-equation: Li+ + e- → Li.
Lithium has a total of 3 electrons. The first energy level of an atom can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, so the first energy level of lithium will have 2 electrons.
Lithium has 1 valence electron.
