Question: The correct sequence of increasing covalent character is represented by

Options:

A) $ LiCl \lt NaCl \lt BeCl_2 $

B) $ BeCl_2 \lt NaCl \lt LiCl $

C) $ NaCl \lt LiCl \lt BeCl_2 $

D) $ BeCl_2 \lt LiCl \lt NaCl $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] order of polarising power $ B{{e}^{++}}>L{{i}^{+}}>N{{a}^{+}} $ Hence order of covalent character $ BeCl_2>LiCl>NaCl $
