Down the group, ionic character increases so RbCl is most ionic here while BeCl2 is covalent (least ionic) compound.

Q. Among $L i Cl, R b Cl$ , $B e C l_{2}$ and $M g C l_{2}$ the compound with greatest and least ionic character respectively are

$L i Cl, R b Cl$

$R b Cl$ , $B e C l_{2}$

$R b Cl, M g C l_{2}$

$M g C l_{2}, B e C l_{2}$

Down the group, ionic character increases so RbCl is most ionic here while $B e C l_{2}$ is covalent (least ionic) compound.
