Most metals react with nonmetals via a synthesis reaction to form a solid ionic compounds. Predict the product and (A) write the complete balanced chemical reaction for the synthesis reaction between lithium and and oxygen gas, and (B) between lithium and fluorine gas. (C) Next, for both reactions identify which species is oxidized and which is reduced. (D) Which of the two ionic compounds would you expect to greater lattice energy, explain.
