The correct sequence of increasing covalent character is represented by

Options

(a) LiCl < NaCl < BeCl₂
(b) BeCl₂ < LiCl < NaCl
(c) NaCl < LiCl < BeCl₂
(d) BeCl₂ < NaCl < LiCl

Correct Answer:

NaCl < LiCl < BeCl₂

Explanation:

As difference of electronegativity increases % ionic character increases and covalentcharacter decreases i.e. negativity differences decreases covalent character increases.
Further greater the charge on the cation more will be its covalent character.Be has maximum (+2) charge.
