Lithium electron configuration: 1s2 2s1, or in shorthand: [He] 2s1

Thus in LiF the Li cation (Li missing one electron to get its nobel gas configuration of He) it is Li+: 1s2 2s0, or in shorthand: [He] 2s0,

This ion does NOT have 8 (octet) electrons, although it has a nobel gas configuration of He: 1s2.
