Ionic character of compounds of metals increases down the group.

Q. The correct order of increasing ionic character?

$B e C l_{2} < M g C l_{2} < C a C l_{2} < B a C l_{2}$

$B e C l_{2} < M g C l_{2} < B a C l_{2} < C a C l_{2}$

$B e C l_{2} < B a C l_{2} < M g C l_{2} < C a C l_{2}$

$B a C l_{2} < C a C l_{2} < M g C l_{2} < B e C l_{2}$
