Answer:
It is in the first column, so it tends to lose one electron.
Explanation:
(I just answered this question on my own as I couldn't find it on brainly :/)
Anyways,
It is clear the lithium is in the first column, not the second row, so that already eliminates two of the four possible answers.
Lithium has 3 protons and 3 electrons. Meanwhile, elements further to the right of this element tend to have increasingly more protons/electrons. To become a stable bond, there must be a total of 8 electrons.
For example,
while lithium has 3 electrons, Nitrogen has 7. It needs one more to become stable. So Lithium will bond with Nitrogen and give it one of it's electrons for a total of 8.
