MCQ
The correct sequence of increasing covalent character is represented by
  • A
    $LiCl < NaCl < BeC{l_2}$
  • B
    $BeC{l_2} < NaCl < LiCl$
  • $NaCl < LiCl < BeC{l_2}$
  • D
    $BeC{l_2} < LiCl < NaCl$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$NaCl < LiCl < BeC{l_2}$
(c) Order of polarising power $B{e^{ + + }} > L{i^ + } > N{a^ + }$ Hence order of covalent character $BeC{l_2} > LiCl > NaCl$.
