Lithium tarnishes when exposed to oxygen. However, if the reaction is provoked by fire the Lithium will tarnish very quickly.
Reactions:
4Li+O2 -> 2Li2O
2Li+O2 -> 2Li2O2

What happens when you combine the elements lithium and neon?
Neon is chemically inert and doesnt combine with lithium
What are the word equasions for burning lithium in oxygen?
Lithium+Oxygen>Lithium Oxide
What are the differences between lithium and oxygen?
lithium is with l & oxygen is with o
What is the formula of the compound that occurs when lithium and sulfur combine ionically?
This compound is lithium sulfide - Li2S.
Does the lithium get heavier after the reaction with oxygen?
When lithium reacts with oxygen, the mass of the lithium is unchanged. However, the mass of lithium oxide (Li2O) created is about 2.1 times as great as the starting mass of lithium metal (110% increase), due to the addition of oxygen. If the lithium reacts with nitrogen, the mass of lithium is similarly unchanged. The reaction produces lithium nitride (Li3N), with a mass about 1.7 times as great as the starting mass of lithium metal (67% increase), due to the addition of nitrogen.

Why does lithium oxide burn?
Heating lithium in dry air will cause it to combine with oxygen to form lithium oxide. The equation might look like this: 4Li + O2 = 2Li2O We'll also see a bit of lithium peroxide form as in this equation: 2Li2O2 → Li2O + O2 Note that lithium peroxide is unstable and will decompose into lithium oxide and oxygen as in this equation: 2Li2O2 → 2Li2O + O2
Would sulfur and lithium cause a ionic or a molecular compound?
When lithium and sulfur combine, they do so as Li2S (lithium sulfide). This is an ionic compound.
When a chlorine atom comes in contact with a lithium atom do they combine to form a compound?
Lithium and Chlorine produce the compound Lithium Chloride.
