The salt forms crystalline hydrates, unlike the other alkali metal chlorides. Chemical properties Color produced when lithium chloride is heated The salt is a typical ionic compound (with certain covalent characteristics), although the small size of the Li + ion gives rise to properties not seen for other alkali metal chlorides, such as extraordinary solubility in polar solvents (83.05 g/100 mL of water at 20 ☌) and its hygroscopic properties. Lithium chloride is a chemical compound with the formula Li Cl.
