Considering greater polarization in `LiCl` compared to that in `NaCl`, which of the following statements you would expect to be wrong?

Options

A. `LiCl` has lower melting point than that of `NaCl`
B. `LiCl` dissolves more in organic solvents
C. `LiCl` will ionize in water more than `NaCl`
D. Fused `LiCl` would be less conducting than fused `NaCl`.

Answer

C

Explanation

According to Fajan's rules, higher the polarization, higher is the covalent character. Thus, `LiCl` is covalent while `NaCl` is ionic. As a result, `LiCl` will not ionize in water more than `NaCl`.
