Why lithium fluoride is a neutral compound even though it is made up of ions that have posotive and negative charges?

Lithium ions have a charge of +1 and fluoride ions have a charge of -1. The formula unit for lithium fluoride is LiF, which means that the lithium and fluoride ions are present in a 1:1 ratio. So the positive and negative charges cancel each other, and the compound lithium fluoride is neutral.

Is KClO3 a soluble ionic compound?

Chlorine is soluable, potassium however I think not. KClO3 is an ionic compound though.


IS LI2S A ELEMENT OR A COMPOUND?

It's the element Lithium, it's on the periodic table of the elements.


What is the difference between the solubility of organic and inorganic compound?

Like dissolves like. So organic compounds are generally soluble in organic solvents whereas inorganic compounds are more soluble in inorganic solvents (though there are plenty of exceptions to this).


What is toxic fluoride?

Fluorides are possible toxins though this is dependent on the fluoride as well as it's solubility and reactivity.Read more: What_is_fluoride


What is the chemical formula for the ionic bond of NaF?

NaF is an ionic compound consisting of a sodium ion (Na+) with a plus one charge and a fluoride ion (F-) with a minus one charge. Together though, sodium fluoride (NaF) is uncharged because the +1 and -1 charges of the ions cancel out.


Is ammonium nitrate soluble in cyclohexane?

No it is insoluble, though very soluble in water.


Is sulfur polar?

No sulfur hexafluoride is NOT polar. Even though it may be assumption that since fluoride is very electronegative between each S-F bond, the structure of the compound is octahedral. With this in mind, the bond electronegeativity cancels out and the compound remains non polar. The shape is symetrical which allows the compound to have equal charge distribution.


Is lithium a commercial alkali metal silicate?

No Lithium is an alkali metal, not a silicate, though it is commercially important.
