What else can I help you with?
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.
Is chlorine and lithium a iconic compound?
Lithium combines with chlorine to form lithium chloride which is an ionic compound.
What is the ionic compound name for lithium and argon?
Argon is an inert gas, and an inert gas does not want to combine with anything else. There is no compound name for a lithium and argon compound because there is no lithium and argon compound.
What ionic compound LI and N?
The ionic compound formed between lithium (Li) and nitrogen (N) would be lithium nitride (Li3N). In this compound, lithium has a charge of +1 and nitrogen has a charge of -3, so the formula is Li3N.
Is Li2O ionic?
Lithium superoxide is not formed or a stable compound at standard temperature and pressure. If exists, it would be a highly ionic compound.
What is the pairs of atoms of Li and S would you expect to combine chemically to form an ionic compound?
In a chemical reaction between lithium (Li) and sulfur (S), it is likely that lithium would donate its electron to sulfur, forming an ionic bond between Li+ and S2-. This creates lithium sulfide (Li2S), an ionic compound.
Which comes first in a chemical formula lithium or hydrogen?
Lithium. Lithium and hydrogen combine to make lithium hydride, an ionic compound, in which lithium is the cation (positive) and hydrogen is the anion (negative). The cation is always first in the chemical formula for an ionic compound.
Is lithium likely to form an ionic compound with strontium?
No, lithium and strontium are both metals. Ionic compounds occur between metals and non-metals. They are both positively charged, so an ionic bond would not be attainable.
Would lithium combine with fluorine make an ionic compound?
Yes, definitely. It would form LiF, or Lithium fluoride. Lithium is a metal with 1 extra electron that it needs to lose to become stable and Fluorine is a nonmetal with 7 electrons so it needs to gain 1 more to fill its valence electron shell and complete its octet. Lithium loses its electron to Fluorine and this creates an ionic bond.
What type of compound is formed when elements combine?
It depends on the elements that are combining. if they are a metal and a nonmetal then it would be an ionic compound. If they are both nonmetals then it would be a molecular compound.
Which element when combined with fluorine would most likely form an ionic compound?
An element such as sodium, which readily gives up an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, would likely form an ionic compound with fluorine. Sodium would form a sodium cation (Na+) and fluorine would form a fluoride anion (F-), creating an ionic bond between the two elements.
When naming the compound containing lithium and chlorine, change the suffix of the anion's name to?
When naming the compound containing lithium and chlorine, you would name it lithium chloride. The suffix of the anion's name (chlorine) remains as "-ide" when naming ionic compounds.
