Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 18
Question: The correct sequence of increasing covalent character is represented by [CBSE PMT 2005]
Options:
A) $ LiCl<NaCl<BeCl_2 $
B) $ BeCl_2<NaCl<LiCl $
C) $ NaCl<LiCl<BeCl_2 $
D) $ BeCl_2<LiCl<NaCl $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Order of polarising power $ B{e^{++}}>L{i^{+}}>N{a^{+}} $
Hence order of covalent character $ BeCl_2>LiCl>NaCl $ .
