Ionic
Aluminum phosphide is an ionic compound. It is made up of aluminum cations (Al3+) and phosphide anions (P3-), which form an ionic bond with each other.
No, lithium hydride does not have a covalent bond. It is an ionic compound where lithium donates its electron to hydrogen, resulting in the formation of Li+ and H- ions, which are held together by ionic bonds.
Ammonium phosphide is an ionic compound. It is formed by the transfer of electrons from the ammonium ion (NH4+) to the phosphide ion (P3-) to create an electrostatic bond between the two ions.
No, lithium forms ionic bonds rather than covalent bonds. It donates an electron to create a stable cation with a full outer electron shell, making it an ionic compound. Therefore, lithium is not classified as a nonpolar covalent compound.
The chemical formula of lithium phosphide is Li3P.

Lithium oxide is an ionic lattice.
Lithium acetate (CH3COOLi) is an ionic compound.
No, lithium hydride does not have a covalent bond. It is an ionic compound where lithium donates its electron to hydrogen, resulting in the formation of Li+ and H- ions, which are held together by ionic bonds.
Ammonium phosphide is an ionic compound. It is formed by the transfer of electrons from the ammonium ion (NH4+) to the phosphide ion (P3-) to create an electrostatic bond between the two ions.
Lithium chloride (as NaCl) is an ionic compound.
No, lithium forms ionic bonds rather than covalent bonds. It donates an electron to create a stable cation with a full outer electron shell, making it an ionic compound. Therefore, lithium is not classified as a nonpolar covalent compound.
The chemical formula of lithium phosphide is Li3P.
The bond in LiBr is primarily ionic, not covalent. Lithium donates an electron to bromine, forming an ionic bond.
No, lithium fluoride does not have a covalent bond. It has an ionic bond between lithium cations and fluoride anions. The lithium atom donates its electron to the fluorine atom, forming a strong electrostatic attraction between the opposite charges.
Lithium phosphate is considered ionic. It consists of lithium cations (Li+) and phosphate anions (PO4^3-) held together by ionic bonds, which are formed through the transfer of electrons between lithium and phosphate atoms.
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".
