Answer:

D, Li2S

Explanation:

This is because Lithium, which is in group IA of the periodic table, has a charge of +1. Sulfur will have a charge of -2 because it is in group 6A in the periodic table, which means to balance these out, there needs to be 2 lithium ions which would result in a charge of +2. With Lithium now having a charge of +2 due to having two atoms in the compound, and sulfur already having a charge of -2 as one atom, these two cancel out meaning the compound is neutral.

It increases across a period and decreases down a group. A good way to remember this is that fluorine is the most electronegative atom, and it's to the top right of the table.
