LiOH is Li+ OH- and the bond here is ionic. In OH- the hydrogen atom is covalently bonded to oxygen.
An advanced point is that Li salts are well known to have some covalent character. this is due to the size of the Li ion which is smaller than the other members of group 1 and is therefore more polarizing that is to say it distorts the electron cloud on the anion. This is quite marked in the halides where the solubility is less than expected.
What else can I help you with?
Is LiOH a covalent or ionic compound?
Ionic is when one of the elements is a metal. Covalent is when both are nonmetals. Lithium is a metal so LiOH is an ionic compound. YES i am azn.
Is FeSO4 a ionic or covalent bond?
It is ionic
Does calcium phosphate have an ionic or covalent bond?
Calcium has both ionic and covalent bonds.
Is AiPO a ionic bond or covalent bond?
AiPO is likely to have both ionic and covalent bonds. The bond between the metal ion "A" and the phosphate ion is likely to be ionic, while the bonds within the phosphate group are covalent.
Is FeCO3 an ionic or covalent bond?
FeCO3 contains both ionic and covalent bonds. The Fe-C bond is mainly covalent, as both atoms share electrons, while the Fe-O bond is ionic, as Fe donates electrons to O to form a bond.
Is LiOH a covalent or ionic compound?
Ionic is when one of the elements is a metal. Covalent is when both are nonmetals. Lithium is a metal so LiOH is an ionic compound. YES i am azn.
Can a molecule be held together by both a covalent bond and ionic bond?
I think so. Here covalent and there ionic.

It is ionic
Does calcium phosphate have an ionic or covalent bond?
Calcium has both ionic and covalent bonds.
How does kcn bond ionic or covalent or both.?
Well, the bond between carbon and nitrogen is covalent, whilst the bond between potassium and the cyanide is ionic.
Is AiPO a ionic bond or covalent bond?
AiPO is likely to have both ionic and covalent bonds. The bond between the metal ion "A" and the phosphate ion is likely to be ionic, while the bonds within the phosphate group are covalent.
Is FeCO3 an ionic or covalent bond?

Is PBO ionic or covalent bond?
PBO (lead(II) oxide) contains both ionic and covalent bonds. The bond between lead and oxygen is predominantly ionic due to the electronegativity difference, while the oxygen-oxygen bond is covalent.
Is CaSO4 ionic or covalent bond?
No, it is Ionic.
Can a bond be a covalent and ionic bond?
No. A bond cannot be both covalent and ionic. A bond can be covalent, ionic or metallic. In covalent bonding electrons are shared, electrons are transferred in ionic bonding and electrons move about in a sea of electrons in metallic bonds.
Which compounds have both a covalent and ionic bond?
Many compounds have both covalent and ionic bonds. For example, soaps are made of a carboxylic acid salt with sodium; the carbon chain is covalent, but the bond between the sodium and the oxygen is ionic.
Does oxygen and nitrogen form an ionic bond?
No, oxygen and nitrogen do not form an ionic bond. They are both nonmetals and tend to form covalent bonds where they share electrons rather than transfer them.
