The neutral atom lithium has three electrons. But if we ionize some elements, we can force them into a position where they have three electrons. One example of that may be if we ionize beryllium (which normally has 4 electrons in its neutral state) and steal away one electron. If we ionize boron, which normally has 5 electrons in its neutral state, we can strip 2 electrons off of it to give it the 3 electrons. We'd have to go out of our way to do that. It is lithium that has 3 electrons in its neutral state.
Any element in the third period. Period 1 has 1s shells, period 2 has 2s 2p and period 3 has 3s 3p. The Periodic Table is organized in a way that makes reading it as efficient as possible.
Lithium. Atomic number Three.

Lithium is element #3, and it has 3 electrons.
The expected number of valence electrons for a group 3 A element is 5 number of valence electrons.
Boron has 3 valence electrons.Boron has 3 valence electrons.
The element lithium has 3 protons and 3 electrons.
Its valency is 3 i.e. 8-5.The element is a non metal since it has 5 electrons in the outermost shell.Hence, it is very difficult for the element to loose 5 electrons and would be easier togain 3 electrons .Hence, the element gains 3 electrons and thus we consider its valencyto be 8- no. of valence electrons.
That varies, element #3 will have 3, element 4 will have 4, etc. However, they all have 2 valence electrons.
