No, lithium, an alkali metal, and calcium, and alkaline earth metal, do not form an ionic compound. On their own, each is a chemical element, and together they are a mixture, or perhaps an alloy.

Calcium is a group 2 metal and these form generally ionic compunds. Ca2+ is the cation formed.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo, because they are both metals they form a covalent bond. An ionic bond is when a metal and a non-metal combine.

Is calcium nitride a ionic or molecular?
Ionic. Covalent compounds are between 2 or more non metals. Ionic are between a metal and a non metal. Calcium is a METAL.
Is calcium chloride an ionic bond or a covalent bond?
Covalent bonds can only happen between non-metals, therefore this must be ionic because calium is a metal
What kind of bond does lithium make with non-metals?
Ionic bond
Is CaBr2 molecular or ionic?
ionic because calcium is a metal and bromine is a non-metal
Is calcium propionate ionic or covalent?
Calcium is a metal, and propionate is a group of non-metal atoms, so Ca-propionate is ionic.
Is calcium and lithium polar covalent ionic or non covalent?
Calcium and lithium individually are both elements with metallic bonding and not any of polar, covalent, or ionic bonding. They could be described as non covalent.
Is calcium nitride a ionic or molecular?
Ionic. Covalent compounds are between 2 or more non metals. Ionic are between a metal and a non metal. Calcium is a METAL.
Is calcium chloride an ionic bond or a covalent bond?
Covalent bonds can only happen between non-metals, therefore this must be ionic because calium is a metal
What kind of bond does lithium make with non-metals?
Ionic bond
How is lithium oxide an ionic compound?
it is the combination of a metal and a non metal
Which of these elements would form an ionic compound with lithium?
Almost every non metal except the elements in group 18 can make ionic bonds with lithium.
Is calcium and nitrogen an ionic bond?
Yes, an Ionic bond is formed between a metal (Calcium) and a non-metal (Nitrogen).
Is CaBr2 molecular or ionic?
ionic because calcium is a metal and bromine is a non-metal
Is CaO polar non polar or ionic?
Its ionic which means it's polar. All ionic solutes only dissolve in polar solvents.
Is calcium propionate ionic or covalent?
Calcium is a metal, and propionate is a group of non-metal atoms, so Ca-propionate is ionic.
Will an ionic or covalent bond form between lithium and fluorine atoms?
Covalent (molecular) bonds form between a non-metal and a non-metal, while ionic bonds form between a metal and a non-metal. Lithium is a metal and fluorine is a non-metal.
Why is calcium sulfate not soluble in non polar substances?
Calcium sulfate has ionic bonds.
