whats type of bond dose lithium normally form?
well in my opinion it is.
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.
Ionic. This is because it is part of the transition metals, which normally combine with nonmetals to form ionic bonds. A metal and a nonmetal form an ionic bond (generally), and two nonmetals tend to form covalent bonds (generally).
Since Lithium is an alkaline earth, it is expected to form ionic bonds. An ionic bond with Hydrogen will result with each atom having a full 1s shell.
Lithium does form lithium acetylide. Refer to the related links below.
The difference between the electronegativities of lithium and chlorine is big and an ionic bond is formed by electrostatic attraction.
Yes
Li2S, which is classified by the AX2 bond type. This bond type is indicative of a linear structure with 180 degree bond angles. This bond is also considered an ionic bond, forcing Lithium to become 2+ and Sulfur to be 2-.
well in my opinion it is.
a metallic bond
hydrogen bond
ionic bond
helium doesnt form bond with other elements
They do not bond together, and if they does in a critical condition, it would preferably form a metallic bond.
lithium donates an electron to bromine
Whilst lithium is a metal and would be expected to form simple salts containing the Li+ ion- the very small size of this ion leads to it polarising the electron clouds of other ions and leading to covalent character of the bond. This is illustrated by the unusually high solubilities of Li halides in organic polar solvents. this phenomenon is explained by "fajan's rules".
Lithium metal reacts vigorously with all the halogens to form lithium halides. So, it reacts with fluorine, F2, chlorine, Cl2, bromine, I2, and iodine, I2, to form respectively lithium(I) fluoride, LiF, lithium(I) chloride, LiCl, lithium(I) bromide, LiBr, and lithium(I) iodide, LiI.
