Question

Explain the formation of following ionic compounds:
Lithium fluoride​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Lithium fluoride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula LiF. It is a colorless solid, that transitions to white with decreasing crystal size. Although odorless, lithium fluoride has a bitter-saline taste. Its structure is analogous to that of sodium chloride, but it is much less soluble in water.

Formula: LiF

Melting point: 848.2 °C

Molar mass: 25.939 g/mol

Boiling point: 1,680 °C

Lattice constant: a = 403.51 pm

Heat capacity (C): 1.604 J/(g K)
