The correct sequence of increasing covalent character is represented byA. `NaCl lt LiCl lt BeCl_(2)`B. `BeCl_(2) lt NaCl lt LiCl`C. `BeCl_(2) lt LiCl lt NaCl`D. `LiCl lt NaCl lt BeCl_(2)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Covalent character in a compound is found by Fajans Rule.
`(i)` Greater the size of the cation, more will be the ionic character and
`(ii)` Greater the size of the anion, more will be its covalent character and charge on the cation is dominant over the size of the cation.
`(iii)` Greater the cahrge on the cation, more will be its covalent character
Hence `BeCl_(2)gtLiClgtNaCl(` in covalent character `)`
