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.

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 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.
Does calcium phosphate have an ionic or covalent bond?
Calcium has both ionic and covalent bonds.
Is OH a covalent or Ionic bond?
It is both
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 calcium phosphate have an ionic or covalent bond?
Calcium has both ionic and covalent bonds.
Can a molecule be held together by both a covalent bond and ionic bond?
I think so. Here covalent and there ionic.
Is OH a covalent or Ionic bond?
It is both
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.
Which compounds have both a covalent and ionic bond?

Does oxygen and nitrogen form an ionic bond?
No. An ionic bond is a bond between a metal and a nonmetal. Since oxygen and nitrogen are both nonmetals, they form a covalent bond.
Is Al2 SO4 3 ionic or covalent?
A nonbinary ionic compound. Covalent bonds are molecular - nonmetal.
Does NA-CL contain both ionic and covalent bond?
no
Is a hydrogen bond stronger that an ionic bond?
No, hydrogen bonds are weak in comparison to both ionic and covalent bonds.
Are there Substances without covalent bond?
Ionic and metallic substances both do not have covalent bonds!
