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.
Lithium and fluorine would form the ionic compound lithium fluoride, LiF. The lithium atoms would form positively charged ions and the fluorine atoms would form negatively charged fluoride ions. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bond.
Because lithium form a cation and sulfur an anion the lithium sulfide (Li2S) form an ionic compound, a salt.
Lithium. Practically every metal combined with fluorine will give you an ionic compound. Some transition metals have volatile penta and hexafluorides and these are bonded with polar covalent bonds.
Li3P is an unstable compound. It would be named lithium phosphide, or if using the prefix notation, it would be called trilithium phosphide.
The charge if a fluorine atom were attract an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would be positive. -APEX
When lithium and sulfur combine, they do so as Li2S (lithium sulfide). This is an ionic compound.
the reaction would produce LiF Lithium Fluoride
Lithium
All of the other alkali metals, found below lithium in periodic table column 1, would have this property.
If fluorine combines with an element such that their electronegativity difference is more than 1.7, then they will form an ionic compound. Example:- Hydrogen fluoride is an ionic compound. Hydrogen has electronegativity of 2.1 and fluorine has 4.0. So, the difference is 1.9. Therefore, it is an ionic compound.

It would not be a compound. It is simply fluorine in its elemental form.
Li3N would be lithium nitride. LiNO3 would be lithium nitrate. LiN3 does not exist.
fluorine- it is a gas
