Is li2o soluble or insoluble?

Lithium oxide (Li2O) is generally considered to be insoluble in water. While it can react with water to form lithium hydroxide (LiOH), the solid Li2O itself does not dissolve readily. Its low solubility is typical for many metal oxides.


What is the chemical formula for LiO?

LiO DOES not exist. Lithium oxide has the formula 'Li2O'.


Can a stable compound be made from these two atoms lithium and oxygen?

Yes!!! They are White Crystals of 'lithium oxide' (Li2O). It is a BASE , and readily dissolved in water to form the Alkali ' lithium hydroxide' Li2O + H2O = 2LiOH NB An Alklai is a soluble base.


Why lithium can only form the monoxide?

Lithium can only form lithium monoxide (Li2O) because it only has one electron available for bonding. This lone electron pairs with one oxygen atom, resulting in the formation of Li2O. Due to its electronic configuration, lithium cannot form a higher oxide with oxygen.
