Solution

The thermal decomposition of Li[IF4] would result in the formation of LiF and IF3. Therefore, the correct answer is A: LiF + IF3.

Here's a step-by-step breakdown:

  1. Identify the reactant: The reactant in this reaction is Li[IF4].

  2. Predict the products: When Li[IF4] is heated, it breaks down into simpler substances. Lithium (Li) will likely bond with one of the fluorine (F) atoms because lithium is a metal and fluorine is a non-metal, and metals tend to donate electrons to non-metals in chemical reactions. This forms LiF. The remaining IF3 molecule is left as is.

  3. Write the balanced chemical equation: The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is Li[IF4] -> LiF + IF3.

So, the correct answer is A: LiF + IF3.
