How many protons are there in an atom the element lithium if it has an atomic number of 3?
Lithium has 3 protons. The atomic number and the number of protons will be the same.
Do neutral lithium atoms contain more neutrons than protons?
The atomic number of Li is 3. So it must have three protons within its nucleus. Now the number of neutrons could be the same, three, in the isotope lithium-6 (present 7.5% in nature) or more often four (present 92.5% in nature), in the isotope lithium-7. But the term neutral used by you may enquire about the number of electrons???? ----------------------------------------------------------- Neutral lithuium atoms don't necessarily have to contain more neutrons than protons. They can, but the number of neutrons does not affect an atom's charge. A neutral lithium atom must contain the same number of protons and electrons, but the number of neutrons can be more, the same, or less than the number of protons.
What determines the element that an atom belongs to?
Its atomic number. In other words the number of positive protons in the nucleus of each atom and the number of negative electrons surrounding the nucleus of each atom.
Is an electrically neutral atom the number of protons equals the number?
An electrically neutral atom has the same number of protons ( positive charged ) and electrons ( negatively charged ).
What is the atomic number of the element has 17 electrons?
the number of protons and electrons are the same. on the Periodic Table of Elements you will see your element that you are looking for, then you will see there is a number under it. )ex. 9=flourine) that number is the number of protons. then, usually the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons are the same.
What number of protons in lithium?
Lithium has the atomic number of 3, which means it has 3 protons, and a neutral atom of lithium has 3 electrons.
A Lithium atom has an atomic mass of 6 How many neutrons does this atom have?
This atom has three neutrons. The atomic mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons. All atoms of the same element have the same number of protons (lithium has three), so the neutrons have to account for the rest of the mass. 6 (the mass number)-3 (the number of protons in a lithium atom)=3. So this atom must have three neutrons.
Why does the lithium atom have no charge?
all atoms have same number of protons and electrons and hence are neutral. lithium has 3 protons and 3 electrons
How many protons and neutrons and electrons does lithium have?
how many protons neutrons and electrons does lithium have? 3 protons 4 neutrons 3 electronsA lithium atom has three protons and so three electrons. The number of neutrons depends on the isotope, with the two naturally occurring stable isotopes of lithium, 6Li and 7Li, having 3 and 4 neutrons respectively.3: In any neutral atom, there are the same number of electrons as of protons, and the number of protons is the same as the atomic number, which for lithium is 3.
How many electrons are in a neutral atom of Lithium-7?
3, the same as the number of protons, which is the same as the atomic number.
How many electrons does lithium 7 have?
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.
How many protons are there in an atom the element lithium if it has an atomic number of 3?
Lithium has 3 protons. The atomic number and the number of protons will be the same.
How many neutron are there in the lithium ion?
The lithium ion is essentially the same as the lithium atom, except it has lost 1 electrons. The number of protons and neutrons remain the same. Thus, the lithium ion, Li+ has 3 neutrons, just like the lithium atom.
How do you get number of protons in a atom?
Atomic number of a atom is same as the number of protons of the same atom
Do all lithium atoms contain the same number of protons?
All the lithium atoms contain the same number of protons.
How many protons do lithium-7 have?
Lithium has three protons because elements always have the same number of protons.
Does lithium and sodium have the same number of protons?
No.
