In the case of alkali metals, the covalent character decreases in the order.

A

`MFgtMClgtMBrgtMI`

B

`MFgtMClgtMIgtMBr`

C

`MIgtMbRgtMClgtMf`

D

`MClgMIgtMBrgtMF`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
3
Alkali metals are highly electropositive and halogens are electronegative.Thus for the halides of a given alkali metal,the covalent character decreases with increase in electronegativity of halogesn.
`therefore` Order of covalent character of halides is
`MIgtMbRgtMClgtMF`
