    Salts of lithium having small anions are more stable than the salts having large anions.

    Answer:

                    Salts of lithium having small anions have more lattice enthalpy because these have more ionic character as compared to the salts having large anions. In fact, large anion has a greater polarisability as compared to smaller anion and imparts covalent character to the salt. As a result, salts with smaller anions are more thermally stable than the salts having bigger anions. Thus, LiF is more stable than LiCl.
