[wintry vector]

Why? Shouldn’t it be LiCl due to its high lattice energy?

Size of cations

Smaller the cation harder to break the bonds and get it to melt

[wintry vector]

thats wht i meant

Licl should be the ans no

[void berry]

Baat to sahi hai

Ok I got it

There is some covalent character even in ionic compounds right ?

[fallen lion]

NaCl is predominately ionic and LiCl is predominately covalent

[void berry]

And licl has more covalent character as compared to NaCl

[dull dome]

wouldn't LiCl have a greater covalent character

more polarization

[void berry]

More like licl has more covalent character as compared to NaCl

But ys

Exactly

[dull dome]

yeah

[wintry vector]

Yeahh right i didnt think abt the covalent character part

Thanks

[void berry]

That's alright

Review fazan rule once

and close thread if doubt solved : )

[wintry vector]

Because the que clearly mentioned lattice energy i didnt think of anything else

[void berry]

Yh happens but it said other consideration

[dull dome]

not gonna lie

[wintry vector]

Yeah right

[dull dome]

its kinda annoying when you've got 2 trends that fight each other and you have no idea which one is dominating

periodic properties me hota hai ye itna i swear

[wintry vector]

so true

Anyways thanks
