Among LiCl, BeCl₂, BCl₃ and CCl₄, the covalent bond character follows the order:
A
LiCl < BeCl₂ > BCl₃ > CCl₄
B
LiCl > BeCl₂ < BCl₃ < CCl₄
C
LiCl < BeCl₂ < BCl₃ < CCl₄
D
LiCl > BeCl₂ > BCl₃ > CCl₄
Explanation
Covalent character increases from LiCl to CCl₄ as the polarizing power of the central atom increases.
