    The correct sequence of increasing covalent character is represented by

    A) \[LiCl<NaCl<BeC{{l}_{2}}\]

    B) \[BeC{{l}_{2}}<NaCl<LiCl\]

    C) \[NaCl<LiCI<BeC{{l}_{2}}\]

    D) \[BeC{{l}_{2}}<LiCl<NaCl\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    On the basis of Fajan's rule, lower the size of cation higher will be its- polarising power and higher will be covalent character. \[\therefore \]Polarising power\[\propto \frac{1}{size\,\,of\,\,cation}\] Covalent character \[\propto \] Polarising power So the correct order is\[NaCl<LiCl<BeC{{l}_{2}}\] (The order of size of cation\[N{{a}^{+}}>L{{i}^{2+}}>B{{e}^{2+}})\]
