Answer briefly . Arrange the following compounds as per their increas

1.	Answer briefly . Arrange the following compounds as per their increasing covalent character and give reason. MgCl_(2) , NaCl, AlCl_(3)
Answer» SOLUTION :LET us consider three IONIC compounds aluminum chloride , magnesium chloride and sodium chloride . Since the charge of the cation increase in the order `Na^(+) lt Mg^(2+) lt AL^(3+) `, the COVALENT character also followsthe same order `NaCl lt MgCl_(2) lt AlCl_(3)`.
