In the compoud FeSO4 the oxidation state of Iron is Fe2+.
So, shouldn't its electronic configuration be 4s1 3d5 as half filled subshells are more stable but rather it is shown that it has the configuration 4s0 3d6 /
Why is it so ?

Lithium is a metal whose electronic configuration is 2 and 1 including 3 protons 3 electrons and 3 neutrons. So, if we remove 1 electron from lithium to make it stable. Then ,why would we call it lithium as it has 3 protons 3 electrons and 3 neutrons. But , after removal of 1 electron only 2 electrons are left. So, why would we call it lithium then.
