    The correct sequence of increasing covalent character is represented by

    A) \[LiCl<NaCl<BeC{{l}_{2}}\]

    B)  \[BeC{{l}_{2}}<NaCl<LiCl\]

    C)  \[NaCl<LiCl<BeC{{l}_{2}}\]

    D)  \[BeC{{l}_{2}}<LiCl<NaCl\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     On the basis of Fajans rule, lower the size of cation higher .will be its polarising power and higher will be covalent character.           \[\therefore \]\[\text{Polarising}\,\text{power}\propto \frac{\text{1}}{\text{size of cation}}\] Covalent character \[\propto \] Polarising power So the correct order is \[NaCl<LiCl>BeC{{l}_{2}}\]  (The order of size of cation\[N{{a}^{+}}>L{{i}^{+}}>B{{e}^{2+}})\]
