Lithium loses one electron to become the cation Li+.
Lithium gives one electron to another atom to form a stable mono-positive ion.
The neutral atom of lithium has 3 electrons.
The element lithium has 3 protons and 3 electrons.
Lithium ions have three protons in their nucleus, as lithium's atomic number is 3. In terms of elections, a neutral lithium atom also has three electrons. However, when it is ionized to form a lithium ion (Li+), it loses one electron, resulting in two electrons. Thus, a lithium ion has three protons and two electrons.
Lithium is a non metal element. There are 3 electrons in a single atom.
There are 3 electrons.
Three. Since the atom is neutral the number of protons and electrons will be equivalent. Lithium is atomic number 3 indicating there are 3 protons in the element, hence three electrons.

That depends what kind of ion it is: If its a +1 ion then it has 2 electrons. If its a +2 ion then it has 1 electron, and If its a +3 ion then it doesn't have any electrons. _________________________________________________ Usually the Lithium atom when ionized it loses its outer shell electron and hence remains with two electrons.
Lithium loses one electron when it reacts
Lithium-7 has 3 electrons.
