Lithium reacts with many non metallic elements; generally it forms ionic compounds. Some examples :-
The halogens, forming halide salts, e.g. Lithium chloride
Oxygen; forming lithium oxide, Li2O; lithium peroxide Li2O2
Sulfur, forming lithium sulfide, Li2S
Nitrogen, forming Li3N
Hydrogen; forming LiH (contains the hydride H- ion)
Carbon;carbide Li2C2, alkyl lithium compounds e.g. LiCH3

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 element when combined with fluorine would most likely from an ionic compound?
any element that is a non metal will do
When a chlorine atom comes in contact with a lithium atom do they combine to form a compound?
Lithium and Chlorine produce the compound Lithium Chloride.
What type of crystal is lithium fluoride?
Ionic Compound
Which element when combined with fluorine would most likely form an ionic compound?
Lithium
Is lithium chloride am element compound or mixture?
Li(I) lithium iodide is an ionic compound (salt)
Is a ionic compound likely to form between fluorine and lithium?
yes
Is lithium acetate a ionic compound or a covalent compound?
Lithium acetate (CH3COOLi) is an ionic compound.
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
Which element forms an ionic compound when it reacts with lithium?
Bromine (Br) All nonmetals except the noble gasses will react with lithium to form ionic compounds.

Is lithium and fluorine ionic or covalent?
Lithium oxide is an ionic compound, further, all oxides of the group 1 elements are ionic.
Why is lithium and chlorine likely to form an ionic compound?
because the atoms of lithium are the type where they take any form easily and stick to other elements. Chlorine on the other hand is the element form of a noble gas, it doesn't mix. So when the lithium clings to the chlorine, with the chlorine being unwilling, then an ionic compound forms.
Is lithium oxide a compound?
No, It is ionic. All lithium compounds are ionic.
Is lithium oxide a molecular compound?
No, It is ionic. All lithium compounds are ionic.
Would sulfur and lithium cause a ionic or a molecular compound?
When lithium and sulfur combine, they do so as Li2S (lithium sulfide). This is an ionic compound.
