Question

The correct sequence of increasing covalent character is represented by (A) LiCl < NaCl < BeCl2 (B) BeCl2< NaCl < LiCl (C) NaCl < LiCl < BeCl (D) BeCl2 < LiCl < NaCl

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Order of polarising power Be++> Li+> Na+ Hence order of covalent character BeCl2> LiCl > NaCl

Q. The correct sequence of increasing covalent character is represented by

$L i Cl < N a Cl < B e C l_{2}$

$B e C l_{2} < N a Cl < L i Cl$

$N a Cl < L i Cl < B e Cl$

$B e C l_{2} < L i Cl < N a Cl$

Order of polarising power $B e^{++} > L i^{+} > N a^{+}$
Hence order of covalent character $B e C l_{2} > L i Cl > N a Cl$

Q. The correct sequence of increasing covalent character is represented by

LiCl<NaCl<BeCl2​

BeCl2​<NaCl<LiCl

NaCl<LiCl<BeCl

BeCl2​<LiCl<NaCl

Order of polarising power Be++>Li+>Na+ Hence order of covalent character BeCl2​>LiCl>NaCl

$L i Cl < N a Cl < B e C l_{2}$

$B e C l_{2} < N a Cl < L i Cl$

$N a Cl < L i Cl < B e Cl$

$B e C l_{2} < L i Cl < N a Cl$

Order of polarising power $B e^{++} > L i^{+} > N a^{+}$
Hence order of covalent character $B e C l_{2} > L i Cl > N a Cl$
