Statement I `LiCl` is predomionantly a covalent compound.
Statement II Electronegatvity difference between `Li` and `Cl` is too small

A

Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is true , statement 2 is a correct explanation for statement 1

B

Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is true , statement 2 is not a correct explanation for statement 1

C

Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is false

D

Statement 1 is false, statement 2 is true

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Cl is more electronegative than Li. Although the difference is not much. Therefore the electron pair moves equally to both and thus forming a covalent compound.
