Best Answer

Li3N because Lithium will give 3 electrons to complete Nitrogen's octet as N has 5 electrons in it's valence shell and needs 3 more to complete it's octet.

Is lithium acetate a covalent or ionic bond?

In lithium acetate, there are ionic bonds between positive lithium ions and negative acetate ions, and within the acetate ions themselves, there are covalent bonds between carbon and oxygen and hydrogen.


Will an ionic or covalent bond form between lithium and fluorine atoms?

Covalent (molecular) bonds form between a non-metal and a non-metal, while ionic bonds form between a metal and a non-metal. Lithium is a metal and fluorine is a non-metal.

Is nitrogen gas ionic or covalent?

Nitrogen forms a diatomic molecule, or N2 Covalent bonds form between non-metals and non-metals Ionic bonds form between non-metals and metals. Because nitrogen is a non-metal and bonds with itself it forms a covalent bond.


Does nitrogen form ionic or covalent bonds with hydrogen?

The bonds between nitrogen and hydrogen are covalent. They make several compounds including ammonia and hydrazine.


Does lithium oxide have covalent have a 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".


Is Li-Cl a covalent or ionic compound?

chlorides are ionic bonds. so lithium chloride is ionic.
