The name of the ionic compound that consists of Lithium ions (Li+) and Iodide ions (I-) is Fluoride ion (F^[-]). Fluoride ion has a negative charge.
Explanation :
- Fluoride is an inorganic anion that has the symbol [F]^- and whose salts are colorless.
- It has a very bitter taste and very odorless and as a result, take place in important chemical reactions forming fluorocarbons and Hydrogen-fluoride.
- When it comes to charge and size the fluoride ion resembles the hydroxide ion.
- Myriad structures are obtained by the salts of fluoride.
- A fluoride anion is surrounded by six cations.
- It is considered to be a micro-nutrient for human health preventing dental cavities and protecting us from diseases.
- Fluoride is considered as a weak base since it partially dissolves in water.
