Why is LiF ionic and not molecular?

Answer 1

Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons.

Lithium atoms have one positive charge, and Fluorine has on negative. Lithium gives up its positive charge so that the outer shells are filled fully.

Answer 2

LiF is an ionic compound because it is composed of positively charged lithium ions (Li+) and negatively charged fluoride ions (F-). In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of ions that are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction. This transfer of electrons creates a strong bond between the ions, making LiF an ionic compound rather than a molecular one.

Answer 3

Yes,because the electronegitivity of F is bigger than Li.

Answer 4

Lithium fluoride is an ionic compound. Generally, a compound containing a metal and a nonmetal will be ionic.

Answer 5

Lithium fluoride is an electrolyte.

Answer 6

Yes it is.

Answer 7

yes.

Answer 8
