Here, from the diagram first element is Lithium(Li) and the other is Fluoride(F).

Lithium tends to lose this one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration and Fluorine tends to gain one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration.

When lithium and fluorine combine, lithium donates its one valence electron to fluorine. This results in the formation of lithium fluoride.

Its molecular formula is LiF .
