Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Determine Compound Formation for Li1+
Li1+ is a cation with a single positive charge.
It can form ionic compounds by pairing with anions that have a negative charge.
However, the question does not provide a specific anion to pair with Li1+, so we cannot determine a specific compound.
Step 2: Determine Compound Formation for Ca2+ and F1−
Ca2+ is a cation with a charge of +2.
F1− is an anion with a charge of −1.
To form a neutral compound, two F1− ions are needed to balance the charge of one Ca2+ ion.
The resulting compound is CaF2.
Step 3: Determine Compound Formation for O2−
O2− is an anion with a charge of −2.
It can form ionic compounds by pairing with cations that have a positive charge.
However, the question does not provide a specific cation to pair with O2−, so we cannot determine a specific compound.
Final Answer
Li1+: Cannot determine a specific compound.
Ca2+ and F1−: CaF2
O2−: Cannot determine a specific compound.
O2− and Cl1−: Cannot determine a specific compound.
