Q. Of the metals $B e, M g, C a$ and $Sr$ of group $2$ in the periodic table, the least ionic chloride will be formed by:

J & K CETJ & K CET 2000

Solution:

Beryllium halides are covalent in nature due to its small size and high charge of $ Be^{2+} $ ion, i.e., high polarising power. While the halide of other alkaline earth metals are ionic in nature.
