Let's see that the first compound represents an oxide which is a combination resulting from the union of a metallic or nonmetallic element with oxygen. To name an oxide, you have to write "___ oxide", where the line is the name of the element. In this case, lithium is the element that is bonded with oxygen, so its name is lithium oxide.

The second compound that you can recognize as water, is an oxide too. So its name is also hydrogen oxide.
