Neutrally charged, 3
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.
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
Beryllium has 4 protons, 5 neutrons, and 4 electrons
Adding one proton to a lithium atom would result in the formation of a beryllium atom. Beryllium has 4 protons, 4 neutrons, and 4 electrons.
It varies. Every different element (ie every different substance) has a different number of protons in its atoms. eg Hydrogen atoms have one proton, Helium atoms have two protons, Lithium has three and so on up to 92 in nature.
There are 14 protons in one atom of Silicon
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 on the type of atom. there are several different elements, (see a periodic table) and it increases from left to right. Hydrogen has one proton , helium has two protons and lithium (below hydrogen) has three. The number above the element name is the number of protons it has.
There are 16 atoms in lithium chlorate (LiClO3). This includes one lithium atom, one chlorine atom, and three oxygen atoms.
"As many as it has electrons" (if there are a different number of protons to electrons then it has a net charge and it is an ion, not an atom)All atoms have at least one proton.The number of protons defines which atom it is, hydrogen atoms have 1 proton, helium atoms have 2, lithium 3 and so on...And it depends what the atomic number is.
The number of protons in an atom gives the chemical identity of that atom. It's that atom's atomic number. In the case of lithium, it's atomic number is 3, so it has 3 protons in its nucleus. The element chlorine has the atomic number 17, so there are 17 protons in its nucleus. But we need to look further when we count nucleons in any atom. The element lithium, with its 3 protons, comes in several different "forms" called isotopes. Each isotope has 3 protons, of course, but there are different numbers of neutrons in each isotope. Recall that a nucleon is either of the two "building blocks" of an atomic nucleus, either a proton or a neutron. The metal lithium has two naturally occurring forms, and they are lithium-6 and lithium-7. The isotope lithium-6 has 3 neutrons along with its 3 protons, and that sums to 6 nucleons. In the same manner, lithium-7 has 4 neutrons with its 3 protons, and that adds up to 7 nucleons. We've discovered the number of nucleons in each of the naturally found isotopes of this alkali metal from Group 1 of the periodic table. Note that the number of the isotope is the number of nucleons in the nucleus of the atom under investigation. With that in mind, let's look at chlorine. For chlorine, we find three naturally occurring isotopes. They are chlorine-35, chlorine-36, and chlorine-37. They have 35, 36 and 37 nucleons, respectively, as you'd expect from the isotopic numbers cited for this halogen from Group 17 on the periodic table.
In one molecule of lithium fluoride (LiF), there are a total of two atoms: one lithium atom and one fluorine atom.
