S Block Elements Question 110
Question: The order of solubility of lithium halides in nonpolar solvents follows the order
Options:
A) $ LiI>LiBr>LiCl>LiF $
B) $ LiF>LiI>LiBr>LiCl $
C) $ LiCl>LiF>LiI>LiBr $
D) $ LiBr>LiCl>LiF>LiI $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
[a] As the size of the anion increases from $ {{F}^{-}} $ to $ {{I}^{-}}, $ the covalent character increase and hence the solubility in non -polar solvent increases $ LiI>LiBr>LiCl>LiF $
