Is LiOH and molecular or ionic compound?

Answer 1

this is an ionic compound because it involves a reaction between metals and non-metals. The most important thing here is that there is ions involved. The OH- ion hints that this is going to be an ionic equation because it contains a polyatomic ion which only occur in ionic equations. And then we look at the other side, which is Lithium, which we know to be an alkali metal. Since one side of the compound is a metal, and the other side is a polyatomic ion (multiple non-metals put together in order to form an ion that can be involved in an ionic compound) this compound can be called IONIC.

Answer 2

LiCl is a ionic compound, with lithium cations and chloride anions. The very large difference in electronegativity between lithium and chlorine favors complete transfer of an electron from each lithium atom to one chlorine atom.

Answer 3

Lithium is a metal, chloride is a nonmetal. Li will donate its 2s electron to Cl and both become ions (charged atoms). So, LiCl is an example of an ionic bond.

Answer 4

LiCl forms ionic bonds.. Only a pure metal or a metal alloy will form metallic bonds.

Answer 5

Ionic bond, Li+ and Cl-

Answer 6

It is an ionic bond

Answer 7

Ionic

Answer 8

yes it can.

Answer 9

Covalent
