ionic

lithium loses its one valence electron, becoming a positive ion

iodine gains a valence electron (giving it all eight valence electrons), becoming a negative ion

Is nitride hydride ionic or covalent?

Nitride hydride is typically covalent. In this compound, nitrogen and hydrogen share electrons to form a covalent bond.


Why is the bond LiBr covalent?

The bond in LiBr is primarily ionic, not covalent. Lithium donates an electron to bromine, forming an ionic bond.


Is Lithium hydride a covalent bond?

No, lithium hydride does not have a covalent bond. It is an ionic compound where lithium donates its electron to hydrogen, resulting in the formation of Li+ and H- ions, which are held together by ionic bonds.


What kind of bond is li3n?

Li3N, lithium nitride, forms an ionic bond. Lithium is a metal that donates its electron to nitrogen, a nonmetal, to form a stable ionic compound.


Does beryllium nitride have covalent bond?

Yes, beryllium nitride primarily exhibits ionic bonding due to the large electronegativity difference between beryllium and nitrogen. While there may be some covalent character in the bonding, the overall nature is primarily ionic.


Does magnesium nitride have a ionic or covalent bond?

In this case, Mg has a value of 1.3 and N has a value of 3.0, so it is an ionic bond. Ionic and covalent bonds are on a continuum. Some "ionic" compounds are in fact partly covalent because the positive cation (e.g. magnesium) polarizes (attracts the electrons of) the anion forming a stronger bond than if it was 100% ionic. A table of ELECTRONEGATIVITY can help one determine whether a bond is ionic or covalent. The bigger the difference in electronegativity the more ionic the bond.


Is aluminum nitride an ionic or covalent compound?

Aluminum nitride is an ionic compound. Aluminum, a metal, donates electrons to nitrogen, a nonmetal, to form a bond with an ionic character.


Does lithium fluoride have covalent bond?

No, lithium fluoride does not have a covalent bond. It has an ionic bond between lithium cations and fluoride anions. The lithium atom donates its electron to the fluorine atom, forming a strong electrostatic attraction between the opposite charges.


Is LiN ionic or covalent?

electronegativity increaseas as one goes up from the bottom of the periodic table lithium and Hydrogen have very different electronagativity values. lithim must donate a electron to hydrogen to obtain a noble gas configuration as well as hydrogen will also accept electron from lithium to achieve the configuration of a noble gas. with that being said Lih is an ionic bond.


Is potassium nitride an ionic or covalent bond?

Potassium nitride, K3N, is an ionic compound. It consists of potassium cations and nitride anions held together by ionic bonds due to the transfer of electrons from potassium to nitrogen.
