Answer:
Nitrogen atom is small in size than phosphorus thus the bond between its nucleus and valence electrons are stronger than phosphorus.

Answer:
Lithium's mass number would decrease by 1
Explanation:
Ionic compounds generally occur between metals and non-metals due to their large electronegativity difference. You can simple go down Group 1 and Group 17 of the periodic table.
Examples:
NaCl (Sodium Chloride)
KCl (Potassium Chloride)
RbCl (Rubidium Chloride)
CsCl (Cesium Chloride)
As I understand from your question, we should synthesize nickel sulfate first from nickel (II) oxide and sulfuric acid and second from nickel carbonate and sulfuric acid.
The chemical reactions will look like this:
NiO (s) + H₂SO₄ (aq) → NiSO₄ (aq) + H₂O (l)
NiCO₃ (aq)* + H₂SO₄ → NiSO₄ (aq) + H₂CO₃ (aq)
but carbonic acid will decompose to carbon dioxide and water
H₂CO₃ (aq) → CO₂ (g) + H₂O (l)
(*) NiCO₃ has a poor solubility in water, but enough to start the reaction.
