The solubility of metal halides depends ...

The solubility of metal halides depends on their nature, Lattice enthalpy and hydration enthalpy of the individual ions. Amongst fluorides of alkali metals, the lowest solubility of LiF in water is due to

A

Ionic nature of lithium flouride

B

High lattice enthalpy

C

High hydration ethalpy of lithium ion

D

Low ionisation enthalpy of lithium atom

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Due to strong packing of `Li^(+) and F^(-)` ion, lattice energy of LiF is higher than its hydration energy.
