Answer:

No, they are not able to bond.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, regarding chemical bonds, it is necessary to remember that these come up when a metal is bonded with a nonmetal, or, when two nonmetals get bonded; however, even there exist a type of denominated metallic, it is not eligible for boron and lithium because they tend to stable as cations (positive) and therefore, equal charges are not eligible for bonding, thus, boron and lithium would not be able to bond.
