The overall charge on this atom is zero if the lithium atom has three, protons, three neutrons, and three electrons.
<h3>What is an atom?</h3>
The smallest tiny particles of matter which can't be divided further is called atoms.
The lithium atom is always electrically neutral, ie, it has no charge. A proton has a unit positive charge while an electron has a unit negative charge, an atom has an equal number of protons and neutrons and thus it is electrically neutral.
Hence, the overall charge on this atom is zero if the lithium atom has three, protons, three neutrons, and three electrons.
