Li changes to ion by losing an electron (= -1) thereby becoming +1
When lithium loses an atom, it becomes a positive ion. This is because lithium is a metal and tends to lose its outer electron to achieve a stable electron configuration like the nearest noble gas, helium. Therefore, it forms a lithium ion with a +1 charge.
If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from a lithium atom, the lithium atom would become a positive charge because it loses an electron.
If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from lithium, the lithium atom would become a positive charge. This is because it would lose an electron, leaving it with a net positive charge due to the loss of a negatively charged electron.
The lithium atom has no charge because it has an equal number of protons and electrons. Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom, and electrons are negatively charged particles orbiting around the nucleus. In a neutral atom, the positive charge of the protons cancels out the negative charge of the electrons.
The lithium atom would lose an electron to the bromine atom, becoming positively charged. This is because lithium has one valence electron, and by losing it to bromine (which has seven valence electrons and can gain one more to achieve a full octet), lithium forms a cation with a +1 charge.

An atom is negative when there are more electrons which gives it that negative charge. An atom is positive when there are less electrons than protons.
Negative: The negative part of an atom is the electrons which have a negative charge and orbit around the nucleus. Positive: The positive part of an atom is the nucleus which contains protons with a positive charge.

An atom with positive charge is cation.An atom with negative charge is anion.
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.
It will be positive.
Positive
The lithium atom has no charge because it has an equal number of protons and electrons. Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom, and electrons are negatively charged particles orbiting around the nucleus. In a neutral atom, the positive charge of the protons cancels out the negative charge of the electrons.
A charged atom is called an ion.If it has more protons then electrons, it has a positive charge.If it has more electrons than protons, it has a negative charge.
The lithium atom would lose an electron to the bromine atom, becoming positively charged. This is because lithium has one valence electron, and by losing it to bromine (which has seven valence electrons and can gain one more to achieve a full octet), lithium forms a cation with a +1 charge.
