Best Answer

Lithium and phosphorous will go through ionic bonding. Lithium is an alkali earth metal, meaning it will lose 2 valence electrons to form 2+ ions. Phosphorous will likely gain 3 electrons to achieve an octet electronic configuration in its outer most shell.

However, lithium and phosphorous do not straight away form Li3P2. Phosphorous usually reacts with oxygen in the air to form phosphate (PO4-).
