Lithium's atomic number is 3. How many electrons does a neutral lithium atom have? explain.​

Explanation:

Lithium is an alkali metal with an atomic number = 3 and an atomic mass of 6.941 g/mol. This means that lithium has 3 protons, 3 electrons and 4 neutrons

THE NUMBER OF PROTONS(ATOMIC NUMBER) MUST BE EQUAL TO THE NUMBER OF ELECTRONS IN A NEUTRAL ATOM NOT A CHARGED ATOM.. REMEMBER THAT

It has 3 electrons

Explanation:

Neutral atom has an overall charge of zero.

Since atomic number is 3, it has 3 protons [ positive charges ]. So, to be neutral, the atom must have 3 electrons [ negative charges ] to cancel out the positive charge.

answer

procedural programming, object-oriented programming

explanation

procedural programming is a type of computer programming language that specifies a series of well structured steps and procedures   within its development period of time. it contains a systematic order of statements, functions and commands to complete a computational task or program. it is centered on creating procedures. while object oriented programming is a programming language that is centered on creating objects rather that actions and data rather than logic.. it has four principles which are inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction and encapsulation
