    A) LiCI                                        

    B) LiF

    C) LiBr                                        

    D) Lil

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The magnitude of polarised or increased covalent character depends upon a number of factors. These factors are (a) Small size of cation: Smallest size of cation greater is its covalent character. (b) Large size of anion: Larger the size of anion greater is its covalent character. (c) Large charge on either of the two ions: As the charge on the ion increases, the covalent character increases. Hence,    In Lil, due to larger size I", Lil is more covalent.
