When lithium and fluorine react, they form an ionic compound - lithium fluoride (LiF).
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.
The compound formed when sodium reacts with fluorine is sodium fluoride (NaF).
A chemical reaction between lithium and fluorine produces lithium fluoride. This is a white, crystalline compound that is highly soluble in water and commonly used in applications such as manufacturing ceramics and producing specialized glasses.
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.
The compound LiCI is lithium chloride. It is an ionic compound formed by the combination of lithium (Li) and chloride (Cl) ions.
The compound formed fromlithium and fluorine is named lithium fluoride. (As actually spelled, "litium" and "florine" are unknown.)
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.
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.
The compound formed by lithium and oxygen is lithium oxide (Li2O).
Fluorine Chlorine Bromine
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.
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.
Strontium fluoride.
The compound formed when sodium reacts with fluorine is sodium fluoride (NaF).
A chemical reaction between lithium and fluorine produces lithium fluoride. This is a white, crystalline compound that is highly soluble in water and commonly used in applications such as manufacturing ceramics and producing specialized glasses.
Lithium bromide, LiBr, is prepared by the treatment of lithium carbonate with hydrobromic acid
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.
