litium ATOM will be nuetral, a lithimum ION will be 1+

∙ 16y agoA lithium ion has a single positive charge on it. If by negative charges you mean electrons, a lithium ion has 3 and a lithium atom (i.e. when it is in a compound e.g. lithium chloride) will have 4.

∙ 13y agoLithium (Li) is in group 1A of the Periodic Table (first column under Hydrogen and above Sodium).
Lithium metal, of course, would be neutral.
However, in ionic form, it would tend towards loosing one of its electrons to give it a +1 charge (Li+)
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe overall charge on an atom or ion is the sum of the protons and electrons. The overall charge of a lithium atom with 4 neutrons, 3 electrons, and 3 protons is zero. The sum of the 3- charge of the 3 electrons and the 3+ charge of the 3 protons is zero. The neutrons are not considered because they have no charge.

What does a lithium atom contain?
3 protons, 4 neutrons and 3 electrons
A lithium atom contains 3 protons 4 neutrons and 3 electrons. What would be formed if one proton is added to this atom?
As you already know the atom consists of protons, neutron and eletrons. The number of protons determins which chemical element it is, and on the periodic table of elements, we can see that the next element after lithium is beryllium.-An atom with 3 protons, 3 neutrons, and 3 electrons.- An atom with 3 protons, 5 neutrons, and 3 electrons
What atom has 3 protons 4 neutrons and 3 electrons?
I've edited the question so it makes any sort of sense. The answer would be 4 electrons. You need an equal number of electrons and protons to be neutral. Neutral just means neither positive or negative. Electrons are -1 and protons are +1. The only way to not be particularly one or the other is to have them both in equal amounts.
If a lithium atom contains 3 protons 4 neuthrons and 3 electrons what would be formed if one proton is added to this atom?
Beryllium has 4 protons, 5 neutrons, and 4 electrons
What is the number of protons neutrons and electrons of carbon 12?
Carbon-12 has 6 protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Protons neutrons electrons for lithium?
3 protons 4 neutrons 3 electrons
How many subatomic particles are in lithium?
6Li has 3 protons, neutrons and electrons. 7Li has 3 protons, 4 neutrons and 3 electrons.
What atom has 3 protons and 3 neutrons?
An atom of lithium isotope 6Li has 3 electrons and 3 protons and 3 neutrons.
Number of protons and electrons in lithium?
Lithium has three protons and three electrons. The number of electrons always equals the number of protons. Lithium has two isotopes, one with three neutrons and one with four neutrons.
How many protons and electrons are in lithuim?
The atomic number of Lithium is 3. That means there are 3 protons and 3 electrons.
How many protons neutrons and electrons does Li have?
The most frequent isotope of lithium has 4 neutrons.
In lithium atoms would all atoms be identical in terms of electrons neutrons and protons?
No. They will all have the same number of protons and electrons, but the number of neutrons will vary. This results in isotopes of lithium.
What element has 3 protons and 3 electrons?
The only element with three protons is lithium.The isotope lithium-6, has 3 neutrons and is the rarer of the two stable isotopes of lithium.Most lithium is isotope lithium-7, containing 3 protons, 3 electrons, and 4 neutrons. It makes up about 92.5 percent of the lithium found on Earth.
How many neutrons electrons and protons does lithum have?
Lithium has: 4 neutrons 3 electrons and 3 protons --------------------------------------- There are two naturally occuring and stable isotopes of Lithium (Li): 6Li (which constitutes about 4% of natural deposits) and, 7Li (which constitutes about 96% of natural deposits). Both isotopes have 3 protons and 3 electrons. 6Li has 3 neutrons and 7Li has 4. The top answer is probably the one you are looking for.
Neutral atom with 53 protons in its nucleus would have how many electrons orbiting the nucleus?
For a standard atom, the number of protons, electrons, and neutrons is the same. For example: 2 Protons - 2 Neutrons - 2 Electrons Helium 3 Protons - 3 Neutrons - 3 Electrons Lithium 4 Protons - 4 Neutrons - 4 Electrons Beryllium So... 53 Protons - 53 Neutrons - 53 Electrons Iodine
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.
What does a lithium atom contain?
3 protons, 4 neutrons and 3 electrons
