<span>lithium and fluoride ions are arranged in an alternating three-dimensional crystal lattice. It's not possible to really isolate a single Li-F pair in the solid state. The many positive-negative electrical attractions hold the solid together. Ionic compounds are usually solids at room temperature since these electrical attractions are quite strong.</span>
Answer:
different from the number of their neutrons
Explanation:
They each have one single proton (Z = 1), but differ in the number of their neutrons. Hydrogen has no neutron, deuterium has one, and tritium has two neutrons. ... Their nuclear symbols are therefore 1H, 2H, and 3H. The atoms of these isotopes have one electron to balance the charge of the one proton.
