Assertion (A) : LiCl is predominantly a ...

Assertion (A) : `LiCl` is predominantly a covalent compound.
Reason (R ) : `EN` difference between `Li` and `Cl` is too small.

A

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct, Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I

B

Both Statement I and Statement II are correct, Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I

C

Statement I is correct, Statement II is the incorrect

D

Statement I is incorrect, Statement II is the correct

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect. The covalency in LiCl is due to small size of ion which brings about large amount of polarization in bond.
