\text{2LiI(s)}\rightarrow \text{2Li(s)+}\text{I}_(2)\text{(s)}

Solid lithium iodide decomposes into solid lithium and iodine gas. To write the reaction, we need to know the formula of the elements involved. It is follows:

Lithium = Li
Iodide = I
Lithium iodide = LiI

2LiI = 2Li + I2

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
