Answer:

Li^3+

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of lithium is ; 1s2 2s1. This means that lithium has one electron in its outermost shell and two core electrons.

We know that it is difficult to remove these core electrons during ionization. Lithium belongs to group 1 hence Li^+ is formed more easily.

It is very difficult to form Li^3+ because it involves loss of core electrons which requires a lot of energy.
