Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the atomic number of lithium, which is 3. This tells us the number of protons in a lithium atom.
Understand that the atomic mass of lithium is given as 7. This is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the atom.
Use the formula: \( \text{Number of neutrons} = \text{Atomic mass} - \text{Atomic number} \).
Substitute the known values into the formula: \( \text{Number of neutrons} = 7 - 3 \).
Calculate the result to find the number of neutrons in a typical lithium atom.
