Best Answer

The oxidation number for Li, or Lithium, is Li+1. Lithium is in the first family on the Periodic Table. Since the element wants to become stable, and it only it needs 8 valence electrons. So therefore, it has to lose an electron. Losing an electron will make it a positive oxidation number.
