Lithium is a metal, it reacts by losing an electron to form a positive ion. It is a member of Group 1 with sodium and potassium.
lithium, sodium, caesium, rubidium sulphides: Me2S.
Ionic, but with covaelnt character.. Lithium nitride is the only stable alkali metal nitride, it has an usual structure with 8 nitrogen atoms around each lithium ion. the small size of Li+ will cause significnt distortion of the electron cloud aroud the N3- ions leading to the "covalent" character.
Carbon is a nonmetal.
Bromine is a nonmetal.
H2O is neither a metal nor a nonmetal. It is a compound consisting of two nonmetal elements, hydrogen and oxygen.
Lithium is a metal.
Lithium is an alkali metal.
no, it is an alkali metal
No, Li (lithium) is a metal.
It is a metal.
Lithium is a metal. In fact, it is an alkali metal (the metals found in group I are alkali metals).
No, lithium oxide is an ionic compound. Ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons between a metal and a nonmetal, whereas molecular compounds are formed by sharing electrons between nonmetal atoms. In lithium oxide, lithium is a metal, and oxygen is a nonmetal, resulting in an ionic bond.
Sodium (metal) reacts with chlorine (nonmetal) to form sodium chloride. Magnesium (metal) reacts with oxygen (nonmetal) to form magnesium oxide. Aluminum (metal) reacts with sulfur (nonmetal) to form aluminum sulfide. Lithium (metal) reacts with nitrogen (nonmetal) to form lithium nitride. Potassium (metal) reacts with fluorine (nonmetal) to form potassium fluoride. Calcium (metal) reacts with phosphorus (nonmetal) to form calcium phosphide. Barium (metal) reacts with iodine (nonmetal) to form barium iodide. Titanium (metal) reacts with carbon (nonmetal) to form titanium carbide. Iron (metal) reacts with chlorine (nonmetal) to form iron(III) chloride. Zinc (metal) reacts with sulfur (nonmetal) to form zinc sulfide.
No, lithium (Li) and fluorine (F) are not very similar. Lithium is a metal, while fluorine is a nonmetal. They have different chemical properties, with lithium being an alkali metal and fluorine being a halogen.
Lithium combines with chlorine to form lithium chloride which is an ionic compound.
Li3N, lithium nitride, forms an ionic bond. Lithium is a metal that donates its electron to nitrogen, a nonmetal, to form a stable ionic compound.
The ionic compound of lithium (Li) and oxygen (O) is lithium oxide (Li2O). Lithium, being a metal, donates its electron to oxygen, a nonmetal, to form a stable ionic bond.
