Because group 1 has 1 electron in it's outer most shell and the have to fill the energy level, so they gave there electron and form positive ion (cation).

And group 17 has 7 electrons in it's outer most shell and they need to complete their shell so the gain electron and form negative ion (anion).

Name the compounds that are formed from lithium and fluorine?

When lithium and fluorine react, they form an ionic compound - lithium fluoride (LiF).


Is lithium and fluorine ionic or covalent?

The bond between lithium and fluorine is ionic. Lithium typically donates its electron to fluorine, resulting in the formation of Li+ and F- ions, which are held together by electrostatic attractions.


Which element forms an ion with a charge of negative one?

The elements in Group 1A all form ion with one positive charge. This group is collectively knows as the Alkali metals. They are Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Caesium, and Francium. Hydrogen ions also can have a positive one charge, but it may, as easily, have a negative one charge.


How do lithium and fluorine become stable together?

Lithium donates an electron to fluorine, forming lithium cations and fluorine anions that attract each other via ionic bonds. This results in the formation of lithium fluoride, a stable compound that satisfies the octet rule for both lithium and fluorine.


Fluorine has a higher electronegativity than Lithium What does this actually mean?

Fluorine having a higher electronegativity than Lithium means that Fluorine has a greater ability to attract electrons towards itself when involved in a chemical bond compared to Lithium. This results in Fluorine having a stronger pull on shared electrons, leading to polar covalent or ionic bonding with other elements, whereas Lithium is less likely to attract electrons strongly in a chemical reaction.

Which of these are in the halogen family fluorine neon lithium or bismuth?

Fluorine The Halogen Family of elements is made up of the elements Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine. Neon is one of the Inert or Noble gases. Lithium is a member of the Alkali Metal group of elements. Bismuth is in the same group of elements as Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Arsenic and Tin.neon


What are 2 elements most reactive on periodic table?

Lithium and Fluorine.


Lithum has much less attraction for any valence electronss than does fluorine atoms of these two elements would from?

Lithium and fluorine would form the ionic compound lithium fluoride, LiF. The lithium atoms would form positively charged ions and the fluorine atoms would form negatively charged fluoride ions. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bond.


Is lithium negative or positive?

Lithium is a neutral metal that can form positive ions.


Are elements Li and F similar?

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.


If a fluorine were to attract an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would become blank charge?

If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from a lithium atom, the lithium atom would become a positive charge because it loses an electron.


What elements belongs on the halogen family flurine neon lithium bismuth?

Fluorine.


If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would become blank chanrge?

If a fluorine atom were to attract an extra electron from lithium, the lithium atom would become a positive charge. This is because it would lose an electron, leaving it with a net positive charge due to the loss of a negatively charged electron.
