Answer;
D. 1s²2s¹
Lithium is the third element with a total of 3 electrons. In writing the electron configuration for lithium the first two electrons will go in the 1s orbital. Since 1s can only hold two electrons the remaining electron for Li goes in the 2s orbital. Therefore the Li electron configuration will be 1s²2s¹.
