Answer:
Option A. Li2O
Step-by-step explanation:
To know which of the compound contains oppositely charged ions, let us determine the nature of each compound. This is illustrated below:
Li2O is an ionic compound as it contains a metal (Lithium, Li) and non metal (oxygen, O). Ionic compounds are charactized by the presence of aggregate positive and negative charge ions. This is true because they are formed by the transfer of electron(s) from the metallic atom to the non-metallic atom.
2Li —> 2Li^+ + 2e
O2 + 2e —> O^2-
2Li + O2 + 2e —> 2Li^+ + O^2- + 2e
2Li + O2 —> 2Li^+ O^2- —> Li2O
OF2 is a covalent compound as it contains non metals only (i.e oxygen, O and fluorine, F). Covalent compounds are characterised by the presence of molecules. This is true because they are formed from the sharing of electron(s) between the atoms involved.
PH3 is a covalent compound as it contains non metals only (i.e phosphorus, P and hydrogen, H).
SCl2 is a covalent compound as it contains non metals only (i.e sulphur, S and chlorine, Cl).
From the above information, we can see that only Li2O contains oppositely charged ions.
