What is the name of the ionic compound LiOH?

1 Answer

May 13, 2014

#LiOH# is the compound Lithium Hydroxide.

#OH^-# is a polyatomic anion.

Lithium is a #Li^-1# anion. Because the charges are already equal and opposite these bond together ionically in a one:to:one ratio.

I hope this was helpful.
