that helps?

Answer 2

lithium is a metal lol

Answer 3

Just compare the difference in electronegativity of the two elements.

If the difference is greater than ~1.7, it's ionic.

Answer 4

ionic is typically metal+nonmental
so left side of periodic table + right side of periodic table (elements)

Answer 5
