What is the electron configuration of Li+?
##"Li""^(+): 1s^2##
Your starting point here will be the of a neutral lithium atom, ##"Li"##.
A quick look in the will reveal that lithium is located in period 2, group 1, and that it has an equal to ##3##.
This means that a neutral lithium atom will have a total of ##3## electrons surrounding its nucleus.
Its will be
##"Li: " 1s^2 color(red)(2)s^1##
Now, the lithium cation, ##"Li"^(+)##, is formed when lithium loses the electron located on its outermost shell ##->## its . This electron is located on the second energy level, in the 2s-orbital.
This means that the electron configuration of the ##"Li"^(+)## cation will be
##"Li"^(+): 1s^2##
To write this using , use the electron configuration of the noble gas that comes before lithium in .
Helium, ##"He"##, has the electron configuration
##"He: " 1s^2##
This means that you have
##"Li"^(+): ["He"]##
Here the notation ##["He"]## is meant to represent the electron configuration of helium.
