The model shows two Li (Lithium) atoms and one O (Oxygen) atom. Since Lithium has a charge of +1 and Oxygen has a charge of -2, we need two Lithium atoms to balance out the charge of one Oxygen atom. Therefore, the correct formula for the compound is Li2O.
So the answer is A) Li2O.
So the answer is A) Li2O.
