Lithium oxide is formed which has ionic bond between two Li+ ions and a O2- ion.
In lithium acetate, there are ionic bonds between positive lithium ions and negative acetate ions, and within the acetate ions themselves, there are covalent bonds between carbon and oxygen and hydrogen.
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".
Lithium oxide - Li2O Three oxides of lithium are known: Li2O, Li2O2, LiO2.
broine
When one atom of Oxygen forms a convalent bond with two atoms of Hydrogen the compound known as water will be created.
In lithium acetate, there are ionic bonds between positive lithium ions and negative acetate ions, and within the acetate ions themselves, there are covalent bonds between carbon and oxygen and hydrogen.
Lithium+Oxygen>Lithium Oxide
Lithium, Nitrogen, Oxygen
Out of these metals, lithium has the strongest bonds. Aluminum has the weakest bonds and magnesium has somewhat strong bonds.

Lithium fluoride is an salt held together by ionic bonds.
Since Lithium is an alkaline earth, it is expected to form ionic bonds. An ionic bond with Hydrogen will result with each atom having a full 1s shell.
When ionized : lithium is +1, Oxygen is -2.
lithium is with l & oxygen is with o

Lithium tarnishes when exposed to oxygen. However, if the reaction is provoked by fire the Lithium will tarnish very quickly. Reactions: 4Li+O2 -> 2Li2O 2Li+O2 -> 2Li2O2
I don't know about recycling oxygen. But I know they remove exhaled (carbon dioxide)CO2 in the living environments by using (solid lithium hydroxide) LiOH that bonds with CO2 to form (solid lithium carbonate) Li2CO3 and (water) H2O.
