Lets start by quickly defining a ionic bond, it is a bond between a metal atom and a non-metal atom, in which electron are transferred. In this case we have Lithium (Li) a metal and Florien (F) a non-metal. You have to look at both of these atoms valence electrons. Lithium has one and Florien has seven. So Lithium will give up and transfer its one electron to Florien, becoming an ion with a charge of +1, and Florine will now also be an ion but with a charge of -1. Here is the stucture Li+1[F]-1

∙ 9y agoIt's Ionic! It is a chemical bond of electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. One is a metal and one is a non-metal. Lithium has a low ionization energy and readily gives up its lone valence electron to the fluorine atom, which has a positive electron affinity and readily accepts the electron.

Name the compounds that are formed from lithium and fluorine?
When lithium and fluorine react, they form an ionic compound - lithium fluoride (LiF).
What is common to the following elements lithium carbon oxygen and fluorine?
Lithium, carbon, oxygen, and fluorine are all reactive elements, which means that they want to bond with other elements to form compounds. Carbon and oxygen together can even covalently bond together to form the compound CO2 (carbon dioxide). Lithium and fluorine can ionically bond because lithium needs to lose its single valence electron to take away its unnecessary second energy shell to finish with a single full energy shell, while fluorine needs to gain one more valence electron to make its last energy shell full, forming the compound LiF (lithium fluoride).
Which element when combined with fluorine would most likely form an ionic compound?
Lithium
Is lithium and fluorine ionic or covalent?
Lithium oxide is an ionic compound, further, all oxides of the group 1 elements are ionic.
What are 2 compounds fluorine can form?
Lithium fluoride and hydrogen fluoride, also known as hydrofluoric acid.
What is the formula for the compound formed from fluorine and lithium?
Lithium and fluorine react together to form lithium fluoride which is an ionic compound.
Name the compounds that are formed from lithium and fluorine?
When lithium and fluorine react, they form an ionic compound - lithium fluoride (LiF).
Which element when formed with fluorine creates an ionic compound lithium carbon phosporus or chlorine?
Lithium reacts with fluorine to form an ionic compound, LiF. The rest all form covalent compounds
Is a ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and lithium?
yes

Which element when combined with fluorine would most likely form an ionic compound?
Lithium
Will an ionic or covalent bond form between lithium and fluorine atoms?
Covalent (molecular) bonds form between a non-metal and a non-metal, while ionic bonds form between a metal and a non-metal. Lithium is a metal and fluorine is a non-metal.
What is the molecular formula of lithium and Fluorine?
Lithium is a metal, so is referred to as a metallic lattice, so molecular formula doesnt apply. gaseous lithium can form Li2 at high temperatures. Fluorine forms F2 gas in its standard molecular state
Lithum has much less attraction for any valence electronss than does fluorine atoms of these two elements would from?
Lithium and fluorine would form the ionic compound lithium fluoride, LiF. The lithium atoms would form positively charged ions and the fluorine atoms would form negatively charged fluoride ions. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bond.
Is lithium and fluorine ionic or covalent?
Lithium oxide is an ionic compound, further, all oxides of the group 1 elements are ionic.
What are 2 compounds fluorine can form?
Lithium fluoride and hydrogen fluoride, also known as hydrofluoric acid.
name three atoms that could form an ionic bond with a lithium atoms?
Fluorine Chlorine Bromine
