Question

Among $LiCl,RbCl$ , $BeC{l}_2$ and $MgC{l}_2$ the compound with greatest and least ionic character respectively are

• A. $LiCl,RbCl$
• B. $RbCl$ , $BeC{l}_2$
• C. $RbCl,MgC{l}_2$
• D. $MgC{l}_2,BeC{l}_2$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Down the group, ionic character increases so RbCl is most ionic here while $BeC{l}_2$ is covalent (least ionic) compound.
