How many electrons are in lithium?

Answer 1

That depends what kind of ion it is:

If its a +1 ion then it has 2 electrons.

If its a +2 ion then it has 1 electron,

and If its a +3 ion then it doesn't have any electrons.

_________________________________________________

Usually the Lithium atom when ionized it loses its outer shell electron and hence remains with two electrons.

Answer 2

A neutral atom of lithium has three electrons in it. Lithium has two electron shells that have electrons in them. The 1S shell has a pair of electrons in it (the maximum), and the 2S shell has one electron in it.

Note that this is a neutral atom of lithium, and lithum is reactive. It would like to loan that 2S electron out if it can. It will react with air, either with the oxygen in it or the moisture, if there is any.

Answer 3

In elemental lithium, there are three(3) electrons. However, like other Group (I) metals it loses an electron to form the lithium cation Li^(+).

The lithium cation as only TWO (2) electrons.

Answer 4

electrons = 3

protons = 3

nuetrons = 4

Answer 5

There are 3 electrons in an atom of Lithium.

Answer 6

The atomic number of lithium is 3. So there are 3 protons and 3 electrons.

Answer 7

there are 3 electrons as it is in the first Period of Group 1

Answer 8

A Lithium atom has 3 protons and 3 neutrons inside the nucleus with 3 electrons orbiting around the nucleus.

Answer 9

Lithium is a s block element. It has three electrons.

Answer 10

This is a chemical element. You can find the how many electron in a single atom by using a Periodic Table.
