Electron-impact cross sections for the transitions between the vibrational levels of and the excited electronic states of LiH molecule, are calculated from threshold to 1000 eV by using the threshold-modified Mott–Massey approximation. Cross sections for the dissociative process, occurring through the excitation to the continuum spectrum of the vibrational levels of the B state, are also obtained. Maxwellian rate coefficients for the corresponding and transitions are presented in the temperature range of 0.1–10 000 eV. Finally, scaling relationships for both the cross section and rate coefficients are derived in order to represent the calculated quantities in a compact analytic form.
