The difference between the electronegativities of lithium and chlorine is big and an ionic bond is formed by electrostatic attraction.
Lithium combines with chlorine to form lithium chloride which is an ionic compound.
Oh yes, potassium and chlorine form an ionic bond.
Whilst lithium is a metal and would be expected to form simple salts containing the Li+ ion- the very small size of this ion leads to it polarising the electron clouds of other ions and leading to covalent character of the bond. This is illustrated by the unusually high solubilities of Li halides in organic polar solvents. this phenomenon is explained by "fajan's rules".
Li2S, which is classified by the AX2 bond type. This bond type is indicative of a linear structure with 180 degree bond angles. This bond is also considered an ionic bond, forcing Lithium to become 2+ and Sulfur to be 2-.

well in my opinion it is.

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.
It is an ionic compound. The bond between sodium and Chlorine is an ionic bond.
