LiCl has covalent bond and is non-polar
Why LiCl more soluble in organic solvents than NaCl?
- Since we know that like dissolves like. Polar solvents dissolve polar solutes and non-polar solvents dissolve non-polar solutes.
- Also, we know that LiCl has a strong covalent bond because Li has a polarizing ability and on the other hand Cl has a tendency to get polarized. Therefore, forming a strong covalent bond that is non-polar.
- Due to the principle of like dissolves like, this non-polar LiCl compound will dissolve in non-polar organic compounds more than NaCl which is a polar compound.
Final Answer
LiCl is more soluble in organic solvents than NaCl because LiCl is non-polar and NaCl is polar.
