Three. Since the atom is neutral the number of protons and electrons will be equivalent. Lithium is atomic number 3 indicating there are 3 protons in the element, hence three electrons.
Lithium loses one electron when fulfilling the octet rule. A neutral atom of lithium will have the same number of electrons as protons, 3. Therefore, a lithium ion will have one less electron, 2.
There are 17 electrons i a neutral atom of chlorine.
A neutral atom of helium has 2 electrons.
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.
Lithium's atomic number is 3. Thus, it has 3 protons in each atom, all of which have a +1 charge. To be electrically neutral then, lithium must also have 3 electrons per atom.
A lithium ion (Li+) has one less electron than a neutral lithium atom. This means a lithium ion has 3 electrons.

Neon has ten electrons and as a Nobel gas is generally neutral

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.
A neutral atom of fluorine contains 7 valence electrons.
