The most stable compound is

A

LiF

B

LiCl

C

LiBr

D

LiI

Answer

LiF

Explanation

Solution

The electronegativity of halogen is as: F>Cl>Br>IF > Cl > Br > I Among alkali metals the electropositive character increases as:
Li<Na<K<Rb<CsLi < Na < K < Rb < Cs
Hence, LiFLiF is the most stable compound.
