Answer:
Lattice energy of \[LiF\] is very large as both \[L{{i}^{+}}\]and
\[{{F}^{-}}\]ions are small in size. \[LiF\]is an ionic compound and the crystal
is very hard to break apart due to high lattice energy. Hence, \[LiF\]is almost
insoluble in water. \[LiCl\]is partially covalent in nature due to polarisation
of chloride ion by \[L{{i}^{+}}\]ion. Thus, it is soluble in water as well as
in non-polar solvents.
