As a liquid, does Lithium Sulfide behave like water?

Question

I know it's mostly used in battery applications as a solid, but since it's a downshift on the periodic table compoundwise, ie, Li2 is right under H2 and S is right under O, it seems like the fluid should be waterlike.

Or do compounds not work that way?

Answer 1

Actually, lithium is a metal and Li2S is a salt. Hydrogen is put in group 1, but it is really very different from the other members of the group. So there was nothing wrong with your reasoning, but the facts of the chemistry are too different.
