Fluorine forms a binary ionic compound with lithium. during the reaction, a lithium atom transfers an electron to fluorine. what is the name of this compound? lithium fluoride fluorine lithium fluorine lithide

lithium fluoride

Explanation: Lithium atom has oxidation number of +1.

Electronic configuration of lithium:

Lithium atom will loose one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form lithium cation with +1 charge.

Fluorine atom has oxidation number of -1.

Electronic configuration of fluorine:

Flourine atom will gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form fluoride ion with -1 charge.

In lithium fluoride the one electron from lithium metal gets transferred to fluorine atom to form .

The nomenclature of ionic compounds is given by:

1. Positive ion is written first.

2. The negative ion is written next and a suffix is added at the end of the negative ion. The suffix written is '-ide'.

Hence, the name of is lithium fluoride.
