Assertion (A): Lithium chloride is predominantly covalent compound.
Reason (R ): electronegativity difference between Li and Cl is small.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion is false but reason is true.
