This element will loose 1 electron to attain stable electronic configuration.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which an atom looses its electron to form a positive ion.

The chemical equation for the formation of lithium ion from lithium atom follows:

Li\rightarrow Li^++e^-

Hence, lithium ion will form lithium cation by loosing 1 electron as shown in above equation.
