anions and cations
The two types of compound are molecular and ionic. An ionic compound commonly used is table salt, or NaCl. A molecular compound commonly used is water, or H2O.
NaCl is an ionic compound. Na ions are positive charged and Cl ions are negative charged. A Coulomb force is existing between the two kinds of ions, making NaCl an ionic compound.
cation and anion
Ionic compound also known as electrovalent bond is a type of bond formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound. These kinds of bonds occur mainly between a metallic and a non metallic atom.
the number and kinds of atoms in the compoundIn an ionic compound, the formula gives the ions and their ratios in the crystal lattice. In a molecular compound, the formula gives the numbers of atoms of each element in a molecule.

Yes. Lithium is an alkali metal and forms the same kinds of compounds as sodium and potassium. Example: LiF, lithium fluoride
It is both ionic and covalent since there is metal to metal bonding as well as metal to non-metal bonding in the compound.

Two or more different elements that are chemically combined in a definite ratio is a compound. Based on the nature of the bonds, it can be called an ionic compound (i.e. atoms bonded together by ionic bonds) or an molecular compound (i.e. atoms bonded together by covalent bonds).
For reference - here are some definitions: * formula unit of an ionic compound - the lowest whole number ratio of the ions in an ionic compound (shows the ratio of the kinds and numbers of atoms in the compound - e.g. NaCl for sodium chloride) * precipitation reaction - reaction with two aqueous solutions that forms a solid Attempts to reword question: --> Use precipitation reaction between aqueous solutions to work out the formula unit of the ionic compound. How to do this? Will expand when I work it out.
