Assertion: Lithium fluoride is most covalent in nature. Reason: Small

1.	Assertion: Lithium fluoride is most covalent in nature. Reason: Small anion an be easily distorted.
Answer» If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion If assertion is true but reason is false. If both assertion and reason are false. Solution :`Li^(+)` ION is very small in size and has high tendency to distort electron clud AROUND the negative halide ion. Anion with LARGE size and be easily distorted hence among halides, LITHIUM iodide is the most covalent in NATURE.
