as i have explained with the formation of ionic compounds. this is an ionic compound like table salt (NaCl)
Lithium gives up the one outermost electron to Chlorine which has a stable octet.
Lithium then has just two. Remember, this is the first orbital (s orbital) with a maximum of two electrons.

it would be an ionic compound, coz Li (a charge of +) is in the same period as Na. Cl will have a charge of - so an ionic compound like NaCl would be formed.
Li(+)Cl(-)

You need to refer to the periodic table before asking silly questions. As you know Lithium is in the same column as Sodium and with Chloride forms NaCl, thus Lithium Chloride. You have to begin to think and not rely on others to do it for you. This is not even a difficult question. Stop playing with the keyboard and do some studying.

An ionic salt LiCl. With roughly thte same properties as common house salt.

I would expect an ionic salt with the formula LiCl.
But then again you can never be certain, or can you?

once again, do your own homework, you're digging you're own grave.
Li and Cl will obviously form an ionic salt.
in the form of, LiCl
