What is the charge of lithium?

Lithium is the lightest of the alkali metals, each of these only having one electron in their outer shell. When they lose it in reaction they form a similarly charged monopositve ion. read more

So lithium is generally found to be in +1 oxidation state/charge. But lithium can posses any charge, even +3 also (that would only contain the atom without electron, nucleus). But generally we write charge of lithium as +1 untill and unless conditions are given. read more

Lithium has a charge of Li^+1, phosphite has a charge of PO3^-3. But overall, Li3PO3 would be neutral. read more
