An element that forms an ionic compound when it reacts with lithium is fluorine. Fluorine gains an electron to form the F^- ion, which then attracts the Li^+ ion from lithium to form the ionic compound lithium fluoride (LiF).

Fluorine forms an ionic compound when it reacts with lithium, forming lithium fluoride (LiF). Fluorine is highly electronegative and readily accepts the electron donated by lithium to form an ionic bond.
Sodium reacts with chlorine to form an ionic compound known as sodium chloride (table salt).
The name of the ionic compound Li2S is lithium sulfide.
When lithium reacts with bromine to form the compound LiBr, each lithium atom loses one electron to attain a stable electron configuration. This results in the formation of Li+ ions. The bromine atoms gain one electron each to form Br- ions. The ionic attraction between the Li+ and Br- ions then leads to the formation of the ionic compound LiBr.
Yes, chlorine and lithium form an ionic compound called lithium chloride, which consists of lithium cations and chloride anions held together by ionic bonds.
