The lithium ion is essentially the same as the lithium atom, except it has lost 1 electrons. The number of protons and neutrons remain the same. Thus, the lithium ion, Li+ has 3 neutrons, just like the lithium atom.
As you can see in any periodic table, Lithium is element #3; that means that each atom has 3 protons.
All lithium atoms (ions or neutral) have 3 protons.
one neutron in the nucleus.
No an ion is not a type of Lithium. An ion is an atom or molecule where the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving it a positive or negative electrical charge. This does mean that you can have an ion OF Lithium which is positively or negatively charged.
THe lithoium atom has IONISED ( lost) an electron, to become the lithium ION.

A lithium ion (Li+) has one less electron than a neutral lithium atom. This means a lithium ion has 3 electrons.
Bromine has -1 charge and Lithium has +1 charge. Therefore,only one lithium ion is required to react with a bromine ion.
As you can see in any periodic table, Lithium is element #3; that means that each atom has 3 protons.

The positive ion for lithium sulfide is Li+ (lithium ion).
Lithium loses one electron when fulfilling the octet rule. A neutral atom of lithium will have the same number of electrons as protons, 3. Therefore, a lithium ion will have one less electron, 2.
Li-6 has 3 neutrons and Li-7 has 4 neutrons.
The lithium ion will be stripped of its electron by the flouride ion, resulting in an ionic bond, where the lithium atom will have 0 valence electrons and the fluoride ion will have 8
The cation in lithium sulfide is Li+, which is the lithium ion. The anion in lithium sulfide is S2-, which is the sulfide ion.
All lithium atoms (ions or neutral) have 3 protons.
One lithium ion can bond with one nitrogen ion because lithium has a +1 charge and nitrogen has a -3 charge, resulting in a stable ionic bond between one lithium ion and one nitrogen ion via the transfer of one electron from lithium to nitrogen to achieve a full valence shell.
