    It's likely what's wanted is

    Li → Li 2 + + 2 e-

    The reason is because IEs are usually reported from the neutral atom, that is, IE2 is the energy required to remove two electrons from a neutral Li atom, as above, rather than the additional energy required to remove one more electron from an Li + cation.
