How many electrons in the third shell of lithium?

Answer 1

Electronic configuration of Lithium is 2,1. So in second shell it can hold 1 electron.If it will combine with some other element it will give out its electron in second shell.

Answer 2

There are 1 electron in the third shell of lithium. Lithium has an atomic number of 3, so it has 3 electrons in total. The first shell can hold up to 2 electrons, and the second shell can hold up to 8 electrons, leaving 1 electron in the third shell.

Answer 3

Lithium has the electronic configuration

1s2 2s1

There are therefore 2 electrons in the first i.e. lowest energy shell.

Answer 4

Zero, Lithium has three electrons 1s2 2s1
