Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The magnitude of polarised or increased covalent character depends upon a number of factors.These factors are:
1. Small size of cation Smallest of cation greater is its covalent characte.
2. Large size of anion: Larger the size of anion greater is its covalent character.
3.Large charge on either of the two ions: As the charge on the ion increases, the covalent character increases.
Hence
In Lil,due to larger size `I^(-)`, Lil is more covalent.
