It has 0 neutrons. The number relates to the number of nucleons in the isotope. Lithium must have 3 protons to be lithium, and 3-3 leaves 0 neutrons. ie. Carbon has 6 protons, so the isotopes Carbon-11 and Carbon-12 have 11-6 = 5 neutrons and 12-6=6 neutrons respectively.

Lithium-3 is so unstable that it cannot be created, said another way, there is no bound state between 3 protons.

The lightest lithium isotope is Lithium-4, which has a lifetime of about 9.1 X 10^-23 seconds, or 91 millionths of a millionth of a millionth of a second. Lithium-4 decays to Helium-3 by proton emission.

How many neutrons electrons and protons does lithum have?

Lithium has: 4 neutrons 3 electrons and 3 protons --------------------------------------- There are two naturally occuring and stable isotopes of Lithium (Li): 6Li (which constitutes about 4% of natural deposits) and, 7Li (which constitutes about 96% of natural deposits). Both isotopes have 3 protons and 3 electrons. 6Li has 3 neutrons and 7Li has 4. The top answer is probably the one you are looking for.


In lithium atoms would all atoms be identical in terms of electrons neutrons and protons?

All lithium atoms will have the same number of protons (3) but can have different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different isotopes of lithium. Electrons are the same for a neutral lithium atom (3 electrons), but ions of lithium can have a different number of electrons.


What element has 3 protons and 3 electrons?

The only element with three protons is lithium.The isotope lithium-6, has 3 neutrons and is the rarer of the two stable isotopes of lithium.Most lithium is isotope lithium-7, containing 3 protons, 3 electrons, and 4 neutrons. It makes up about 92.5 percent of the lithium found on Earth.

Which isotope of lithium has 3 neutrons?

The isotope of lithium with 3 neutrons is lithium-6. It has 3 protons, 3 electrons, and 3 neutrons in its nucleus. It is one of the two stable isotopes of lithium, along with lithium-7.


How many electrons does lithium 7 have?

A neutral lithium atom has 3 electrons, the same as the number of protons, which is the atomic number of lithium. There is no lithium ion with a charge of 7+. If you mean lithium with a mass number of 7, the number of protons is 3 and the number of neutrons is 4.
