lithium 6 has fewer neutrons, while lithium 7 is heavier
To determine the percentage of lithium-7, we need to calculate the relative abundance of each isotope considering their atomic masses. Given that the atomic mass of lithium-6 is 6.015 and that of lithium-7 is 7.016, the percentage of lithium-7 is approximately 92.5% based on natural abundance.
one neutron in the nucleus.
The number of protons and electrons is identical.
Typically, isotopes are chemically identical. In other words, their reactivities should be the same. It has, however, been shown that some organisms are able to concentrate certain isotopes of some elements, though it is not understood how this is done.
No. There are different isotopes of lithium which have different numbers of neutrons and thus different masses. There are two stable isotopes of lithium: Lithium-6 with 3 neutrons and Lithium-7 with 4 neutrons.
Lithium-6 and lithium-7 are two different isotopes of lithium. All lithium atoms have 3 protons, but they may have different numbers of neutrons. Lithium-6 has 3 neutrons ans lithium-7 has 4 neutrons.

Lithium has two stable isotopes, lithium-6 and lithium-7. There are also several radioactive isotopes of lithium, with lithium-8 being the most common radioactive isotope.
6.941 is the average mass of lithium's isotopes. The majority of lithium (on average about 92.5%) is lithium-7 with 3 protons and 4 neutrons while about 7.5% is lithium-6 with 3 protons and 3 neutrons. A number of other isotopes exist but only in trace amounts.
The number of protons and electrons is identical.
Lithium-isotope 6 has 3 neutrons. Lithium-isotope 7 has 4.
The isotope of lithium with 3 neutrons is lithium-6. It has 3 protons, 3 electrons, and 3 neutrons in its nucleus. It is one of the two stable isotopes of lithium, along with lithium-7.
Lithium is element #3. That, of course, is the atomic number - the number of protons. The atomic mass will of course depend on the specific isotope. The most common isotope is Lithium-7, that is, atomic mass = 7. Lithium-6 also occurs in nature as a stable isotope.

Isotopes of lithium are the different types of lithium atoms, each having the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. The three isotopes of lithium are lithium-6, lithium-7, and lithium-8.
