C)hydrogen bonding
D)ion-dipole

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When LiF dissolves in water, the strong electrostatic attraction between the charged lithium and fluoride ions (Li+ and F-) and the partially charged ends of the water molecules (the oxygen atom having a partial negative charge and the hydrogen atoms having partial positive charges) creates ion-dipole interactions as the positive and negative ions of the solid dissociate and become hydrated by the polar solvent molecules. This is the major solute-solvent interaction when LiF dissolves in water.
