The correct sequence of increasing covalent character is represented by

  1. LiCl < NaCl < BeCl2
  2. BeCl2 < LiCl < NaCl
  3. NaCl < LiCl < BeCl2
  4. BeCl2 < NaCl < LiCl

Answer

(3) NaCl < LiCl < BeCl2

Solution

As per Fajans' rule, the smaller the cation and the higher its charge, the greater is its polarising power and hence the greater is the covalent character of the bond.

Be2+ is the smallest cation with +2 charge, so BeCl2 is the most covalent.

Li+ is smaller than Na+, so LiCl is more covalent than NaCl.

Increasing covalent character: NaCl < LiCl < BeCl2

Answer: (3)

H2O is dipolar, whereas BeF2 is not. It is because

  1. the electronegativity of F is greater than that of O
  2. H2O involves hydrogen bonding whereas BeF2 is a discrete molecule
  3. H2O is linear and BeF2 is angular
  4. H2O is angular and BeF2 is linear.

Which one of the following statements is not correct for sigma- and pi- bonds formed between two carbon atoms?

  1. sigma-bond is stronger than a pi-bond.
  2. Bond energies of sigma- and pi-bonds are of the order of 264 kJ/mol and 347 kJ/mol, respectively
  3. Free rotation of atoms about a sigma-bond is allowed but not in case of a pi-bond.
  4. Sigma-bond determines the direction between carbon atoms but a pi-bond has no primary effect in this regard.
