The answer would be 8 since Lithium is in the second period (all elements in the second period have two electron shells). The second electron shell only holds a max of 8 valence electrons. Any more and you'll have 3 shells.

Do your own homework. This problem is so basic you should be able to get it or fail because you can't.
