Lithium fluoride
Lithium fluoride is an
inorganic compound with the
chemical formula LiF. It is a colorless solid, that transitions to white with decreasing crystal size. Although odorless, lithium fluoride has a bitter-saline taste. Its structure is analogous to that of
sodium chloride, but it is much less soluble in water. It is mainly used as a component of
molten salts. Formation of LiF releases one of the highest
energy per mass of reactants, only second to that of
BeO.
