To find an element with properties most similar to lithium, we need to focus on the number of protons, which determines the element's identity. Lithium has 3 protons. The element that will have properties most similar to lithium will be in the same group on the periodic table.

From your options:
1. An element with 11 protons (sodium) - this is not similar to lithium.
2. An element with 4 protons (beryllium) - not similar.
3. An element with 12 protons (magnesium) - not similar.
4. An element with 10 protons (neon) - not similar.

None of the provided options has 3 protons. However, since the question is asking for similarity, it's important to note that in the context of groups in the periodic table, elements with similar properties often have the same number of valence electrons. Lithium has 1 valence electron, which is similar to sodium, but none of your choices offer a 3-proton option or a close analog within lithium's group.

Given that, there is no direct answer among the options you've provided that matches lithium. If you must choose one, you could say that "An element with 11 protons, 11 neutrons, and 11 electrons" (sodium) would be somewhat related due to belonging to the same group in the periodic table (alkali metals), though it has higher atomic number and heavier mass.
