lithium has 7 isotopes
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.
6.941 is the average mass of lithium's isotopes. The majority of lithium (on average about 92.5%) is lithium-7 with 3 protons and 4 neutrons while about 7.5% is lithium-6 with 3 protons and 3 neutrons. A number of other isotopes exist but only in trace amounts.
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.
The normal chemical symbol is used for the isotope with the addition of the atomic number (Z) at the lower left of the symbol and the atomic mass number (A) at the upper left as shown X.For example Li and Li represent two isotopes of lithium.Since all lithium isotopes have an atomic number Z=3, this number is usually omitted and the isotopes are represented by the symbols Li and Li. These are sometimes written as Lithium-6 and Lithium-7 or Li-6 and Li-7.
Isotopes are important due to their uses. Examples include Carbon-14 for dating rocks, Iodine-131 for diagnosing thyroid problems, Cobalt-60 for medical radiotherapy and industrial radiography, and Uranium-235 for producing nuclear energy.
Isotopes of lithium are the different types of lithium atoms, each having the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. The three isotopes of lithium are lithium-6, lithium-7, and lithium-8.

Lithium has two natural isotopes (6Li and 7Li).
The element with 3 protons is lithium (Li). With 4 neutrons, it forms lithium-7, a stable isotope. Having 3 electrons, it is neutral and forms an ionic compound or molecule in its various chemical reactions.

no it is not
7Li.It is one of the Primordial_elementsor, more properly, primordial isotopes, produced in Big Bang nucleosynthesis. Thus it is more abundant.
No. There are different isotopes of lithium which have different numbers of neutrons and thus different masses. There are two stable isotopes of lithium: Lithium-6 with 3 neutrons and Lithium-7 with 4 neutrons.
There is no limit as to how many isotopes an element can have. It can be given as many neutrons as possible with today's technology. As for stability and natural decay, that's another issue. Some isotopes can last for milliseconds, or less.
Lithium 6 and lithium 7 are isotopes of lithium. The main difference between them is in the number of neutrons in their nuclei - lithium-6 has 3 neutrons, while lithium-7 has 4 neutrons. Lithium-7 is more abundant in nature than lithium-6.
Lithium-isotope 6 has 3 neutrons. Lithium-isotope 7 has 4.
The elemnt with atomic number 3 is Lithium. There is no easy way of determining how many neutrons are in an atom, in Lithium there are two stable isotopes, 6Li with 3 neutrons and 7Li with 4. The most common is 7Li. If you ever have to guess because you dont have access to Wikipedia or a table of the elements which shows the different isotopes, there are often the same number of neutrons as protons in stable isotopes.
