                    The correct sequence of increasing covalent character is represented by:                            

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

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

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

    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                 \[NaCl<LiCl<BaC{{l}_{2}}\]                 (The order of size of cation \[N{{a}^{+}}>L{{i}^{+}}>B{{e}^{2+}}\])
