Identify the charges of the ions formed by lithium and sulfur. Lithium is an alkali metal in Group 1 and forms a +1 charge ion, written as \(\mathrm{Li}^{+}\).
Sulfur is a nonmetal in Group 16 and typically forms a -2 charge ion, written as \(\mathrm{S}^{2-}\).
To form a neutral ionic compound, the total positive charge must balance the total negative charge. Since lithium has a +1 charge and sulfur has a -2 charge, you need two lithium ions to balance one sulfur ion.
Write the formula by combining two lithium ions and one sulfur ion, resulting in \(\mathrm{Li}_{2}\mathrm{S}\).
Verify that the compound is electrically neutral by checking that the total positive charge (+2 from two \(\mathrm{Li}^{+}\) ions) equals the total negative charge (-2 from one \(\mathrm{S}^{2-}\) ion).
