An ionic bond between a metal and a non-metal.
The same as NaCl - ionically in a crystal lattice
The difference between the electronegativities of lithium and chlorine is big and an ionic bond is formed by electrostatic attraction.
Li is highly electropositive and Cl is highly electronagetive. therefore an ionic bond is formed
Na and K are both metals and do not react Na and Cl are metal and non metal respectively and will form ionic compound, NaCl or table salt or sodium chloride Mg and Li are both metals and do not react S and Cl are both non metals and will give covalent compounds

This is an ionic bond because Li is a metal and Cl is a non-metal.
Li is highly electropositive and Cl is highly electronagetive. therefore an ionic bond is formed
Li atom donates one electron to a Cl atom when Li+Cl- is to be formed as ionic compound (salt):Li --> e- + Li+Cl + e- --> Cl--------------- +Li + Cl --> LiCl (or Li+Cl-)
Na and K are both metals and do not react Na and Cl are metal and non metal respectively and will form ionic compound, NaCl or table salt or sodium chloride Mg and Li are both metals and do not react S and Cl are both non metals and will give covalent compounds
Yes, LiCl is the chemical formula for the compound lithium chloride. It is an ionic compound, where there is strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged Li+ and Cl- ions. The lithium and chloride ions occupy alternate and opposite positions in the giant lattice structure characteristic of an ionic compound.
This bond is ionic.
Na and Li do not bond with each other. They form an alloy- a solid solution with metallic bonding.
No. It only has ionic bonds.
chlorides are ionic bonds. so lithium chloride is ionic.
