Ionic. But it does have covalent bonding characteristics aswell
covalent bond in NH3
Lithium is a metal and not a compound. So there is only metallic bond in lithium and not covalent.
No, Ionic
Whilst lithium is a metal and would be expected to form simple salts containing the Li+ ion- the very small size of this ion leads to it polarising the electron clouds of other ions and leading to covalent character of the bond. This is illustrated by the unusually high solubilities of Li halides in organic polar solvents. this phenomenon is explained by "fajan's rules".
Hydrogen is an element, not a bond. It can form bonds, which are usually covalent, but an ionic bond with hydrogen is possible, for example, lithium hydride is an ionic compound. While this, like every compound, does have its own distinctive features, I would not call it a special form of ionic bond.

Lithium hydride is an ionic compound.
Lithium is a metal and not a compound. So there is only metallic bond in lithium and not covalent.
Lithium oxide is an ionic lattice.
yes
No, Ionic
Lithium Hydride. It is combination of Lithium & Hydrogen.

lithium hydride is a solid at room temperature.

covalent hydride's are volatile not non-volatile
Lithium chloride is an ionic compound and has no covalent bonds.
