Answer to Problem 3E

Name Atomic number Protons Electrons Neutrons Mass
Lithium(Li) 3 3 3 4 7
Lithium ion(Li + ) 3 3 2 4 7

Explanation of Solution

The symbol for Li atom is as follows:

Li6.94(atomicmass)(atomic number)3

This is the configuration of Lithium metal according to the periodic table.

Atomic Number = Number of protonsNumber of protons = Number of ElectronsMass Number = Protons  +  Neutrons

According to this equation the atomic number of lithium metal(Li) is 3 so the protons are 3. The number of protons are 3 so the electrons are 3.

Mass Number = Protons  +  Neutrons7=3 + ?73=4

The neutrons are 4

1s22s1e1s2

The lithium metal electronic configuration is 1s2 2s1 after the loss of electrons the lithium metal converted into lithium ion (Li + ) that is 1S2. Thus, number of electrons is 2.

Conclusion

Thus, lithium ion (Li + ) has 2 electrons, 3 protons and 4 neutrons.
