What is the compound name of litium and florine?

The compound formed fromlithium and fluorine is named lithium fluoride. (As actually spelled, "litium" and "florine" are unknown.)


Fluorine forms a binary ionic compound with lithium. During the reaction a lithium atom transfers an electron to fluorine. What is the name of this compound?

The compound formed is lithium fluoride (LiF). This is because lithium loses an electron to become a positively charged ion (Li+) and fluorine gains an electron to become a negatively charged ion (F-), and the resulting compound is neutral with the formula LiF.


Name some examples of other elements that fluorine makes compounds with?

Fluorine can form compounds with every element except Helium. Many compounds with the noble gases (such as neon fluoride) are pretty unstable and most are very reactive, but they can be formed.


What is the name of the compound with lithium and oxygen?

The compound formed by lithium and oxygen is lithium oxide (Li2O).

What are other names for lithium?

Lithium is sometimes known as Li in the periodic table or as "lithia" when referring to lithium compounds. It is also commonly referred to by its chemical name, lithium carbonate, in pharmaceutical contexts.


What type of bonding would be expected between atoms I and F?

Ionic bonding---with such different electronegativities it would be hard for lithium and fluorine to share electrons in a covalent bond. It is far more energetically favorable for the lithium atom to transfer an electron to fluorine to form Li+ and F- and then have those two hook up to form an ionic bond.

When naming the compound containing lithium and chlorine, change the suffix of the anion's name to?

When naming the compound containing lithium and chlorine, you would name it lithium chloride. The suffix of the anion's name (chlorine) remains as "-ide" when naming ionic compounds.
