Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The ionic character of the molecule/atom is determined by the influence of covalent bond, as the size of cations increases, ionic character increases as per the given order of covalency i.e.
`CaCl_2 gt KCl gt BaCl_2 gt AgCl`.
In AgCl, cation is smaller with least ionic character.
