1.	Answer briefly . NaCl is less covalent than LiCl - Justify .
Answer» Solution :LITHIUM chloride is more covalent than SODIUM chloride . Thesize of `Li^(+)` is smaller than `Na^(+)` and hence the polarising power of `Li^(+)` is more. Lithium iodide is more covalent than lithium chloride as the size of `I^(-)` is larger than the `CL^(-)` Hence `I^(-)` will be more polarised than `Cl^(-)` by the cation , `Li^(+)`.
