Statement I `LiCl` is predomionantly a covalent compound. Statement II

1.	Statement I `LiCl` is predomionantly a covalent compound. Statement II Electronegatvity difference between `Li` and `Cl` is too smallA. If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertionB. if both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertionC. if assertion is true but reason is falseD. if the assertion and reason both are false
Answer» Correct Answer - C LiCl is a covalent compound since due to the larger size of the anion (`Cl^(-)`) is effective nuclear charge lessens and its valence shells are held tightly towards its nucleaus. Here, assertion is correct but reason is incorrect.
