The answer to this question would be: Li²+
^(+)

The electron has a negative charge. Losing electron means that the atoms are losing negative charge, which makes it more positive. The charge of the atom would be written after the atom. Positive charge will be represented as + and negative charge will be"-"
Two electrons will be written as "2+"
