Lithium ions form bonds with fluoride ions to form an ionic compound: lithium fluoride (LiF).
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".
Lithium combines with chlorine to form lithium chloride which is an ionic compound.
Lithium and fluorine react together to form lithium fluoride which is an ionic compound.
Lithium combines with sulphur to form lithium sulphide (Li2S)

Almost every non metal except the elements in group 18 can make ionic bonds with lithium.
Lithium combines with chlorine to form lithium chloride which is an ionic compound.
Lithium and Chlorine produce the compound Lithium Chloride.
Lithium and fluorine react together to form lithium fluoride which is an ionic compound.
LiO does not form. Li2O would form and is lithium oxide.
No. Lithium will lose an electron.
When lithium and fluorine react, they form an ionic compound - lithium fluoride (LiF).
Lithium combines with sulphur to form lithium sulphide (Li2S)
Because lithium form a cation and sulfur an anion the lithium sulfide (Li2S) form an ionic compound, a salt.
Lithium is a metal and would form ionic bonds - so extremely polar.
