It won't be lithium anymore stupid
Carbon!
^^Idk who wrote this answer but your the flipping stupid one this question is asked by a chemistry teacher on e2020 and we are supposed to answer it dipwad!!
In an ion your protons do not change it will always stay the same. So in this case Lithium would hae three protons
Assuming that two neutrons and two electrons are also added, the atomic number would shift from 80 to 82, resulting in lead. If the neutrons or electrons were not added, it would be the radioactive isotope, lead-206.
You can't have 0.946 of a neutron. You've either got a whole neutron or you don't. So the answer is "there is no element with a neutron number of 3.946".The average number of neutrons in lithium is close to that. Somewhere between about 7.5% and 3.75% of lithium atoms have 3 neutrons; the rest have 4. That nicely brackets an average of 3.946 (which would correspond to 5.4% 6Li)
I am going to assume that these two protons are independent of any nucleus, else the answer would differ completely. If two protons in free space are moved three times as far apart, the force goes down by a factor of nine (3 squared). Force between particles goes as 1/R2.
Protons minus neutrons doesn't mean anything in chemistry. Protons plus neutrons gives the mass number. Protons minus electrons gives you the charge of an atom(ion). The number of protons are equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom and the proton number is equivalent to the atomic number.
Lithium
Lithium has the atomic number of 3, which means it has 3 protons, and a neutral atom of lithium has 3 electrons.
In an ion your protons do not change it will always stay the same. So in this case Lithium would hae three protons
Adding one proton to a lithium atom would result in the formation of a beryllium atom. Beryllium has 4 protons, 4 neutrons, and 4 electrons.
An atom of lithium isotope 6Li has 3 electrons and 3 protons and 3 neutrons.
Beryllium has 4 protons, 5 neutrons, and 4 electrons
If you add 3 protons to lithium (which has 3 protons), you would create an element with 6 protons, which is carbon on the periodic table.
The atomic number of lithium (Li) is 3, and so it has 3 protons in the nucleus. The number of neutrons depends on which isotope of lithium you have. The most common isotope (92.5%) is 7Li with 4 neutrons.A neutral atom of lithium has three electrons in it. Lithium has two electron shells that have electrons in them. The 1s shell has a pair of electrons in it (the maximum), and the 2s shell has one electron in it. Note that this is a neutral atom of lithium, and lithium is reactive. It would like to loan that 2s electron out if it can. It will react with air, either with the oxygen in it or the moisture, if there is any.See the Related Questions below for more information about the particles in the nucleus.
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
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.
Lithium with a mass number of 8 will have 3 protons. The mass number represents the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus, and since lithium has an atomic number of 3, it means it has 3 protons.
Then it would be Lithium :)
