Answer 3

Lithium (Li) is an Alkali metal.

It reacts with water forming the Alkali, Lithium Hydroxide and Hydrogen gas.
2Li + 2H2O → 2LiOH(aq) + H2(g)

Li has an Atomic No. of 3
The nucleus contains 3 Protons and 4 Neutrons and has an Atomic mass of 7.
The 3 Electrons are in 2 Energy shells with 2 electrons in the 1st shell and 1 (the valence electron ) in the 2nd shell.
It's No.2 in Group 1 of the Periodic Table
