 The correct answer is the second option. The word
equation that would represent the formation of lithium oxide from lithium metal and oxygen is:

lithium + oxygen to lithium oxide

In
chemical symbols, the balanced chemical equation is expressed as:


Li + O2 = Li2O

Answer : The correct option is, (2) lithium + oxygen to lithium oxide

Explanation :

When the lithium react with the oxygen to give lithium oxide as a product.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

\(2Li+O_2\rightarrow Li_2O\)

This reaction can be represented in words as,

Lithium react with oxygen to give lithium oxide.

or,

lithium + oxygen to lithium oxide

Hence, the correct option is, (2) lithium + oxygen to lithium oxide
