electronegativity increaseas as one goes up from the bottom of the Periodic Table lithium and Hydrogen have very different electronagativity values. lithim must donate a electron to hydrogen to obtain a noble gas configuration as well as hydrogen will also accept electron from lithium to achieve the configuration of a noble gas. with that being said Lih is an ionic bond.
