Is barium a transition element or a representative element?
Bromine is part of the representative elements
Is lithium nitride ionic or covalent?
Ionic, but with covaelnt character.. Lithium nitride is the only stable alkali metal nitride, it has an usual structure with 8 nitrogen atoms around each lithium ion. the small size of Li+ will cause significnt distortion of the electron cloud aroud the N3- ions leading to the "covalent" character.
Which substance has a chemical formula with the same ratio of metal ions to nonmetal ions as in potassium sulfide?
lithium, sodium, caesium, rubidium sulphides: Me2S.
Is nitrogen a metal nonmetal or a metalloid?

Is Li a nonmetal?
No, Li (lithium) is a metal.
Is lithium a metal a nonmetal or a metalloid?
Lithium is a metal. In fact, it is an alkali metal (the metals found in group I are alkali metals).
Two highly reactive elements in period 2 are the metal lithium and what?
Nonmetal fluorine
Is barium a transition element or a representative element?

IS LiI ionic or molecular?
Lithium iodide is an ionic compound. Usually, a bond between a metal and a nonmetal is ionic.
Is lithium nitride ionic or covalent?
Ionic, but with covaelnt character.. Lithium nitride is the only stable alkali metal nitride, it has an usual structure with 8 nitrogen atoms around each lithium ion. the small size of Li+ will cause significnt distortion of the electron cloud aroud the N3- ions leading to the "covalent" character.
Which of these are the correct element for metal li si s?
Li - Lithium is a metalSi - Silicon is a metalloid, a semiconductorS - Sulfur is a nonmetal
Is selenium a akali metal?
No, selenium is not an alkali metal. It is a nonmetal element that belongs to the chalcogen group on the periodic table. Alkali metals include elements such as lithium, sodium, potassium, and cesium.
