The electronegativity difference of 3.0 indicates an ionic bond rather than a polar covalent.
However LiF is not very soluble, like other Li salts. This is due to a partial covalent character in the bond due to the high polarising power of the small Li+ ion which distorts the electron cloud round the anion. The extent of this effect caused by cations is predicted in "Fajan's Rules"
