A lithium atom contains 3 electrons, whereas a fluorine atom contains 9 electrons. Which correctly describes the formation of a bond between lithium and fluorine atoms?

A) Lithium and fluorine will share one pair of electrons. B) A hydrogen bond will form between the partially positive lithium and the partially negative fluorine.
