(03.02 lc) lithium has a 1+ charge, and oxygen has a 2− charge. a lewis dot diagram should contain one lithium atom and two oxygen atoms to show how these atoms form an ionic bond. true false

false,

the lewis dot structure of lithium oxide will not include only one lithium atom and two oxygen atom,

it will include 2 lithium atom and one oxygen atom so that an ionic compound is formed.

lithium contains +1 positive charge and oxygen contains -2 negative charge so as to make an ionic bond, two lithium should give its 2 electrons to 1 atom of oxygen.

2[Li]⁺ [O]⁻²

thats how its supposed to be

it would be a gas formation
