    The correct sequence of increasing covalent character is represented by:                                 [AIPMT (S) 2005]

    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\[N{{a}^{+}}>L{{i}^{+}}>B{{e}^{2+}}\])
