Answer:

The Correct Answer is mentioned below

Explanation:

The third electron in lithium cannot fit in the lowest energy shell, which has only two electrons, as previously stated. As a result, the third electron in lithium enters the second shell, or outer shell.

Lithium is a chemical element with the atomic number 3 and the symbol Li. It's a silvery-white alkali metal that's pleasant to the touch. It is the lightest metal and the lightest solid element under normal conditions.
