In an ion your protons do not change it will always stay the same. So in this case Lithium would hae three protons
When you say Ion you have to specify whether its negative or positive and the number associated with it. For example: if its Li 3- it means it has 3 more electrons then regular Lithium (which has 3 electrons) that makes it 6 electrons and 3 protons (this nr doesnt change) for Li 3-. Obviously calculations vary depending on the type of ion.
Based on the atomic number of lithium there are three protons in a lithium atom.
A lithium ion (Li+) has one less electron than a neutral lithium atom. This means a lithium ion has 3 electrons.
6Li has 3 protons, neutrons and electrons. 7Li has 3 protons, 4 neutrons and 3 electrons.
The particles that affect the charge of an atom or ion are electrons and protons. Electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge. The number of electrons and protons in an atom or ion determines its overall charge.
As you can see in any periodic table, Lithium is element #3; that means that each atom has 3 protons.
Lithium ion is Li^1+ and the number of protons is 3 and the number of electrons is 2.
Yes, the number of protons in an atom and its ion of lithium is the same. Lithium always has 3 protons in its nucleus, regardless of whether it is in its neutral atom form (Li) or as an ion with a different number of electrons.

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.
When you say Ion you have to specify whether its negative or positive and the number associated with it. For example: if its Li 3- it means it has 3 more electrons then regular Lithium (which has 3 electrons) that makes it 6 electrons and 3 protons (this nr doesnt change) for Li 3-. Obviously calculations vary depending on the type of ion.
All lithium atoms (ions or neutral) have 3 protons.
All lithium atoms and ions have three protons. The lithium ion has a charge of +1, meaning there is one less electron than protons, two.
3 protons and 2 electrons.
When a lithium atom changes into an ion, the ion is positive. This is because lithium, which has 3 protons and 3 electrons in its neutral state, loses an electron to become Li+, resulting in an ion with 3 protons and only 2 electrons, giving it a net positive charge.
No an ion is not a type of Lithium. An ion is an atom or molecule where the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, giving it a positive or negative electrical charge. This does mean that you can have an ion OF Lithium which is positively or negatively charged.
