Solution Summary
This solution explains what attractive forces must be overcome for CsI to dissolve in HF.
Solution Preview
To dissolve CsI, you must break the CsI into separate ions. If you look at the electronegativity difference, you find:
Cs - 0.79
I - 2.66
Difference - 1.87
Anything above 2 is ionic. 1.87 is very close, so CsI is also ...
