The electronic configurations of following elements are given below.HLiCCl12, 12, 42, 8, 7From these values complete the table.CompoundType of bondingLithium chlorideLithium hydrideHydrogen chlorideCarbon tetrachloride

Answer»

a) Lithium is metal and chlorine is nonmetal. So the bond is ionic in nature. 

b) Lithium is metal and hydrogen is non-metal. So the bond is ionic in nature. 

c) Hydrogen and chlorine are two dissimilar non-metals. So the bond formed is polar covalent bond. 

d) Carbon and chlorine are dissimilar non-metals but electronegativity difference is less. So they form nonpolar covalent bond.
