Lithium reacts with many non metallic elements; generally it forms ionic compounds. Some examples :-
The halogens, forming halide salts, e.g. Lithium chloride
Oxygen; forming lithium oxide, Li2O; lithium peroxide Li2O2
Sulfur, forming lithium sulfide, Li2S
Nitrogen, forming Li3N
Hydrogen; forming LiH (contains the hydride H- ion)
Carbon;carbide Li2C2, alkyl lithium compounds e.g. LiCH3
