To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the number of protons and neutrons in the lithium nucleus The lithium nucleus is represented as \( _3Li^7 \). Here, the atomic number (Z) is 3, which indicates the number of protons. The mass number (A) is 7, which is the total number of protons and neutrons. - Number of protons (Z) = 3 - Mass number (A) = 7 - Number of neutrons (N) = A - Z = 7 - 3 = 4 ...
