It starts with the following: K shell - 2 electrons L shell - 8 electrons M shell - 18 electrons N shell - 32 electrons it works out from there K being the first etc.
If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from a lithium atom, the lithium atom would become a positive charge because it loses an electron.
The lithium atom would lose an electron to the bromine atom, becoming positively charged. This is because lithium has one valence electron, and by losing it to bromine (which has seven valence electrons and can gain one more to achieve a full octet), lithium forms a cation with a +1 charge.
In a reaction with chlorine, a lithium atom will lose an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. Once it loses an electron, it becomes a lithium cation, which has a charge of +1.
If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from lithium, the lithium atom would become a positive charge. This is because it would lose an electron, leaving it with a net positive charge due to the loss of a negatively charged electron.
The lithium atom, which has lost an electron to become positively charged, will be attracted to the chlorine atom, which has gained an electron to become negatively charged. They may form an ionic bond by transferring electrons from lithium to chlorine, creating lithium chloride.
THe lithoium atom has IONISED ( lost) an electron, to become the lithium ION.
If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from a lithium atom, the lithium atom would become a positive charge because it loses an electron.
The valence electron in a lithium atom is in orbital 2s. To form a lithium cation, this electron is transferred to some more electronegative atom.
The lithium atom would lose an electron to the bromine atom, becoming positively charged. This is because lithium has one valence electron, and by losing it to bromine (which has seven valence electrons and can gain one more to achieve a full octet), lithium forms a cation with a +1 charge.
In a reaction with chlorine, a lithium atom will lose an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. Once it loses an electron, it becomes a lithium cation, which has a charge of +1.
The compound lithium chloride (LiCl) is formed.

When a lithium atom reacts with a fluorine atom, the lithium atom loses an electron to form a lithium cation and the fluorine atom gains that electron to form a fluoride anion. This results in the formation of lithium fluoride (LiF), an ionic compound.
