Because Lithium is in Group 1 on the Periodic Table, it is an Alkali Metal. It has 1 electron on it's outer shell. Therefore, it is unstable because it does not have a full outer shell of electrons. A full outer shell contains 2 electrons, then 8 on the next shell, and then 8 again on the one after, etc.

What is the formula of lithium and nitrogen?
for lithium are LiH,LiF LiCl,LiBr and LiI and but for nitrogen are BN,AlN and GaN , but binary ionic compounds of nitrogen are unstable.
Name the compounds that are formed from lithium and fluorine?
When lithium and fluorine react, they form an ionic compound - lithium fluoride (LiF).
What compounds has the highest molar mass sodium iodide sodium bromide sodium chloride lithium bromide lithium fluoride?
sodium iodide
Is lithium the medication the same as the element lithium?
Yes, and no. Medical lithium does contain actual lithium, but not in its elemental form. It is given in the form of lithium carbonate an alkaline salt somewhat similar to washing soda (sodium carbonate). Lithium compounds such as this are usually stable and relatively benign. As an element lithium is a soft, light, and highly reactive metal. This reactivity makes elemental lithium impractical and even dangerous for everyday use.
Which element would most likely bond with lithium and form an ionic compound?
Lithium reacts with many non metallic elements; generally it forms ionic compounds. Some examples :- The halogens, forming halide salts, e.g. Lithium chloride Oxygen; forming lithium oxide, Li2O; lithium peroxide Li2O2 Sulfur, forming lithium sulfide, Li2S Nitrogen, forming Li3N Hydrogen; forming LiH (contains the hydride H- ion) Carbon;carbide Li2C2, alkyl lithium compounds e.g. LiCH3
