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.

Number of protons and electrons in lithium?

Lithium has three protons and three electrons. The number of electrons always equals the number of protons. Lithium has two isotopes, one with three neutrons and one with four neutrons.


How many electrons are there in the lithium ion?

Lithium loses one electron when fulfilling the octet rule. A neutral atom of lithium will have the same number of electrons as protons, 3. Therefore, a lithium ion will have one less electron, 2.


How many protons and electrons are in the Li plus ion?

The Li plus ion has 3 protons and 2 electrons. Since it is a Li+ ion, it has lost one electron, leaving it with one less electron than protons.


How many neutron are there in the lithium ion?

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.


How many electrons does lithium 7 have?

A neutral lithium atom has 3 electrons, the same as the number of protons, which is the atomic number of lithium. There is no lithium ion with a charge of 7+. If you mean lithium with a mass number of 7, the number of protons is 3 and the number of neutrons is 4.


Is the number of protons the same in the atom or ion of lithium?

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.


How many protons does a Lithium ion have?

As you can see in any periodic table, Lithium is element #3; that means that each atom has 3 protons.


What 3 protons and 2 electrons what charge?

3 protons have a charge of +3 (3*(+1) = +3) and 2 electrons have a charge of -2 (2*(-1) = -2). Therefore, the overall charge is +1 (+3 - 2 = +1).


How many protons does lithium ion contain?
