Question

Based on the electron configuration of the two

Answer 1

Answer:

3:1

Explanation:

Lithium is a group 1 element. This means it would donate one electron to form the cation.

Nitrogen on the other hand is a group 5 element. It would accept 3 electrons to form the anion.

This means there has to be three lithium atoms, each donating an electron each to the nitrogen atom for a compound to be formed.

The formular for the ionic compound would be given as;

Li₃N

Hence the ration is 3:1
