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.

∙ 13y agoThe polyatomic (lithium sulfite) is an ionic (nonmetal plus metal) compound because it contains one metal (lithium) and the two nonmetal (sulfur and oxygen). How do i know the elements of lithium sulfite? Because the chemical formula for lithium sulfite is Li2SO3.

Is lithium nitride ionic or covalent bond?
ionic lithium loses its one valence electron, becoming a positive ion iodine gains a valence electron (giving it all eight valence electrons), becoming a negative ion
Is LiN ionic or covalent?
electronegativity increaseas as one goes up from the bottom of the periodic table lithium and Hydrogen have very different electronagativity values. lithim must donate a electron to hydrogen to obtain a noble gas configuration as well as hydrogen will also accept electron from lithium to achieve the configuration of a noble gas. with that being said Lih is an ionic bond.
