Explanation:

Lithium is an electropositive element that readily loses electrons.

Oxygen is electronegative and it will readily accept electrons.

 Due to this significant electronegativity differences between the two species they form electrovalent or ionic bonds between them.

  2atoms of Li lose two electrons:

      Li  →  Li²⁺ + e⁻

             Lithium isoelectronic with helium

 For oxygen;

      O + 2e⁻   →  O²⁻

                          Oxygen is isoelectronic with Neon

Two ions of the lithium combines with the oxygen to form the bond;

                   4Li + O₂  →  2Li₂O

The electrostatic attraction between the two ions forms the ionic bond

Why does the lack of snow in the mountains make drought cycles worse
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

lack of snow in the mountains makes drought cycles worse because mountains are a natural part of the water cycle.

Explanation:

Mountains play a critical part In the water cycle by capturing moisture in the air and it precipitates as snow and when it does this the snow will melt in the warmer seasons and flow down stream then following the rest of the water cycle if we didn't have this then the streams would run less and it would greatly disrupt the water cycle.
