Identify the atomic number of lithium, which is 3. This number represents the number of protons in the nucleus of a lithium atom.
Determine the atomic mass of lithium. The most common isotope of lithium has an atomic mass of approximately 7.
Use the formula to find the number of neutrons: \( \text{Number of neutrons} = \text{Atomic mass} - \text{Atomic number} \).
Substitute the values into the formula: \( \text{Number of neutrons} = 7 - 3 \).
Calculate the result from the formula to find the number of neutrons in a typical lithium atom.
