← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when lithium and fluoride react?
A)A stable ionic lattice forms✓
B)Metallic bonding becomes dominant
C)Van der Waals forces increase
D)Covalent pi-bonds begin forming
💡 Explanation
Lithium fluoride forms an ionic compound because the large electronegativity difference facilitates electron transfer. This results in the formation of a stable crystal lattice configuration of ions; therefore an ionic lattice forms, rather than forming covalent bonds.
