Bond polarity propto electronegativity difference of bonded atom If there is a large difference in electronegativity of two atoms then bonding is either ionic or polar. If there is a small difference in electronegativity of two atoms then bonding is either covalent or non-polar. As the covalent character increase with the decrease in the value of difference in electronegativities of bonded atoms. Therefore, the covalent bond character in LiCl , BeCl 2, BCl 3 and CCl 4 in the following order LiCl < BeCl 2< BCl 3< CCl 4

Q. Among $L i Cl, B e C l_{2}, BC l_{3}$ and $CC l_{4}$ , covalent bond character follows the order

$L i Cl < B e C l_{2} < BC l_{3} < CC l_{4}$

$L i Cl < B e C l_{2} > BC l_{3} > CC l_{4}$

$L i Cl > B e C l_{2} < BC l_{3} < CC l_{4}$

$L i Cl > B e C l_{2} > BC l_{3} > CC l_{4}$

Q. Among LiCl,BeCl2​,BCl3​ and CCl4​ , covalent bond character follows the order

LiCl<BeCl2​<BCl3​<CCl4​

LiCl<BeCl2​>BCl3​>CCl4​

LiCl>BeCl2​<BCl3​<CCl4​

LiCl>BeCl2​>BCl3​>CCl4​

Q. Among $L i Cl, B e C l_{2}, BC l_{3}$ and $CC l_{4}$ , covalent bond character follows the order

$L i Cl < B e C l_{2} < BC l_{3} < CC l_{4}$

$L i Cl < B e C l_{2} > BC l_{3} > CC l_{4}$

$L i Cl > B e C l_{2} < BC l_{3} < CC l_{4}$

$L i Cl > B e C l_{2} > BC l_{3} > CC l_{4}$
