Na have higher shielding effect than Li
*According to my chemistry bookThe reduction in the force of attraction between the nucleus and the valance electrons by the electrons present in the inner subshells is called shielding effect.As you move from top to bottom in a group number of electronic shells increase so the number of electrons in the inner shells also increases. As a result shielding effct increases.Therefore Na will have higher shielding effect than Li as it comes after Li in the group.

Li ( lithium) is an ATOM. However, when it ionises (loses) an electron it becomes the Lithium ion (Li^(+)). Positive ions are collectively named as CATIONS. Negative ions are collectively named as ANIONS. NB An atom is an UNcharged species of any element. When it becomes a charged species, then it is an ION. Cation(+) & Anion(-) .
The oxidation number of Li in Li2 is +1. Each Li atom has an oxidation number of +1 in ionic compounds.
Li is small atom and thus have comparatively compactly arranged electrons.. It seizes the Cl atom to take away its electron...thus it have covalent bond rather than ionic.. K is bigger in size..have weak nuclear attraction...screening and shielding effect is more in K,..therefore can form gud ionic bonds.... ok dear..

Li+ and Cl-
Li atom donates one electron to a Cl atom when Li+Cl- is to be formed as ionic compound (salt):Li --> e- + Li+Cl + e- --> Cl--------------- +Li + Cl --> LiCl (or Li+Cl-)
From the second s orbital: Li(1s2, 2s1) --> Li+(1s2, 2s0) + 1e-

Li+ means that the atom lost an electron. And this means it has now has a complete outershell, thus being more stable than the Lithium atom with 1 valence electron
THe lithoium atom has IONISED ( lost) an electron, to become the lithium ION.
I'm pretty sure there are 3 atoms because in Li2o, there are 2 atoms in lithium and 1 atom in oxygen.
The Li ion is different from the atom because it has positive charge. (Lithium is group 1 element and these lose 1 electron to form for example :Li+ , Na+ etc)
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.
Li is atom number three, not only 'was' but it still is and ever will be.
