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

A

If both assertion and reason and correct and reason explanation for assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not correct explanation for assertion

C

If assertion is correct but reason is incorrect

D

If both assertion and reason are incorrect
