because it has more negative enthalpy of hydration
Lithium chloride is insoluble in water because it forms a strong ionic bond between the lithium cation and the chloride anion. This bond is stronger than the interaction between the ions and water molecules, preventing the lithium chloride from dissociating and dissolving in water.
Even though lithium fluoride is an ionic compound, it has a high lattice energy due to the strong interaction between the lithium and fluoride ions. This makes it harder for the compound to dissolve in water. Additionally, water molecules are not able to effectively solvate and separate the lithium and fluoride ions due to the strong lithium-fluoride bond.
The rate of reaction of lithium with water increases over time because as the reaction proceeds, more lithium surfaces become exposed to water, leading to more collisions and interaction between the lithium and water molecules. This increased surface area allows for a higher rate of reaction to occur as the reaction progresses.
Yes, lithium does dissolve in water.
The word equation for the reaction between lithium oxide and water is: lithium oxide + water -> lithium hydroxide.

Lithium react violent with water and lithium hydroxide and hydrogen are formed.

Lithium + Water = Hydrogen gas + Lithium Hydroxide, please see related link for a fantastic video on it
Among alkali metals, lithium ions have the lowest ionic mobility in water due to its smaller size and stronger attraction to water molecules. This results in greater hydration energy, which makes it harder for lithium ions to move in water compared to larger alkali metal ions like potassium or cesium.
You are misinformed, Lithium Chloride IS soluble in water.
The reaction of lithium and water is violent but without a flame.
Lithium will react violently with water. Do not put it in water
Lithium and cesium are both highly reactive metals that will react violently with water (forming a hydroxide compound and giving off hydrogen gas) so the question of relative solubility doesn't really arise.
