Question

Explain, in terms of structure and bonding. why lithium chloride is a solid with a high melting point.

[4 marks]

Answer 1

Answer:

The smaller the ion the higher the charge density and the stronger the forces between the ions, resulting in a higher melting point. Hence KCl has a lower m.p. than NaCl. ... According to the theory of electrostatic attraction force, lithium chloride is expected to have a higher melting point than sodium chloride.
