The electric charge of lithium is +1.
An ion of any element has a nonzero electric charge while the "normal" atoms of the same element have zero electric charge. Atoms become ions either by losing electrons or by gaining electrons. Lithium (being on the left side of the Periodic Table) will usually tend to lose electrons, becoming positively charged.
Atomic lithium has no charge whereas its ion has a +1 charge.
A Lithium ion has a charge of plus one. Hope this helps!
Lithium has a charge of Li^+1, phosphite has a charge of PO3^-3. But overall, Li3PO3 would be neutral.
A lithium ion has a charge of +1
Li ion has a charge of +!, lithium is in group 1, an alkali metal
+1

The formulas for the binary ionic compounds formed between lithium and oxygen are Li2O and Li2O2. Li2O is lithium oxide, where lithium forms a +1 charge and oxygen forms a -2 charge. Li2O2 is lithium peroxide, where lithium forms a +1 charge and oxygen forms a -1 charge.
When ionized : lithium is +1, Oxygen is -2.
There are 2 lithium atoms in lithium sulfate because of a balance of charges.The sulfate anion has a "2-" charge (SO4 2-), and the lithium cation has a "1+" charge (Li 1+). Leaving the compound as LiSO4 would leave the total charge of the compound as (1+) + (2-) = (1-) - not 0, as is required. In order to balance out the "2-" charge of the sulfate anion, there must be 2+ charge with the lithium cation. Thus, there is a need for 2 lithium atoms in the compound of lithium sulfate (the formula is Li2SO4).Hope it helps.
On the periodic table the metal Lithium is written Li
