The correct sequence of increasing covalent character is represented by
- ALiCl < NaCl < BeCl2
- BBeCl2 < LiCl < NaCl
- CNaCl < LiCl < BeCl2
- DBeCl2 < NaCl < LiCl
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: C
As difference of electronegativity increases % iconic charecter increases and covalent charecter decreases i.e, electronegativity difference decreases covalent charecter increases. Further greater the charge on the cation more will be its covalent character. Be has maximum (+2) charge.
