Out of LiF and LiCl which has higher covalent character and why

1.	Out of LiF and LiCl which has higher covalent character and why
Answer» lithium iodide is more covalent than lithium chloride because the electronegativity in halogens is in the following sequence F>Cl>Br>I.Thus flourine is most electronegative while iodine is least in halogens.Covalent character of bond increases down the group so i.e. FTherefore lithium iodide is more covalent than lithium chloride.
