Question

Why lithium chloride is soluble in organic solvent?

Answer 1

Explanation:

In LiCl due to high polarising power of Li(because of small size) and hugh polarisability of Cl (because of larger size) the LiCl become covalent in nature(fajan's rule). Thus, LiCl is easily dissolved in organic solvents or soluble in organic solvents.

Examples:-Methanol, esters and ethers, etc.

Answer 2

Answer:

:LiCl is soluble in organic solvent. ... Organic solvents are generally non polar as compared to polar solvents like water. Ionic solute dissolves in polar solvents and covalent solute dissolves in non polar solvents. Lithium chloride has sufficient covalent character because of greater polarisation.
