Q77 / 200 · JIPMER 2008 · Chemistry
The most stable compound is
- Correct answerALiF
- BLiCl
- CLiBr
- DLiI
Solution
The electronegativity of halogen is as :
\(\mathrm{F} \gt \mathrm{Cl} \gt \mathrm{Br} \gt \mathrm{I}\)
Among alkali metals the electropositive character increases as :
\(\mathrm{Li} \lt \mathrm{Na} \lt \mathrm{K} \lt \mathrm{Rb} \lt \mathrm{Cs}\)
Hence, LiF is the most stable compound.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
