Why An atom of lithium (Li) forms an ionic bond with an atom of chlorine (Cl) to form lithium chloride. How are the valence electrons of these atoms rearranged to form this bond?
The difference between the electronegativities of lithium and chlorine is big and an ionic bond is formed by electrostatic attraction.
What is the best description of what happens when a bond is formed?
when a bond forms, energy is released --A+
What happens when lithium metal is strongly heated in nitrogen gas?
looses hydroxy group and forms lithium metal
What charge would you get from a lithium atom if a bromine atom were to attract to an electron from lithium?
The charge if a fluorine atom were attract an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would be positive. -APEX
When lithium forms an ionic bond with fluorine which one of the atoms becomes a positively chraged ion?
Lithium becomes a cation (pos. charged) because it gives one electron to Fluorine.

How does a Li-O bond differ from an O-H bond?
Lithium has a much lower electronegativity than hydrogen, therefore it forms a much stronger, ionic bond, and hydrogen forms a weaker covalent bond with oxygen.

when a bond forms, energy is released --A+
What is formation of ionic covalent bond?
An ionic covalent bond forms when a metal bonds to a non-metal that is bonded to another non-metal. One such as this would be LiOH. The Oxygen and Hydrogen form a covalent bond and the Lithium to the Hydroxide forms an ionic bond.
What happens when chemical bond forms?
energy is released
What type of bond is formed with lithium and fluoride?
Ionic bond in lithium fluoride.
What happens when a lithium ion is attracted to a ion?
The lithium ion will be stripped of its electron by the flouride ion, resulting in an ionic bond, where the lithium atom will have 0 valence electrons and the fluoride ion will have 8

Is lithium oxide covalent or ionic bond?
Lithium oxide is an ionic lattice.

Lithium becomes a cation (pos. charged) because it gives one electron to Fluorine.
