Among the following the maximum covalent character is shown by the compound

Options

A. `SnCl_(2)`
B. `AlCl_(3)` and `SiCl_(4)`
C. `MgCl_(2)`
D. `FeCl_(2)`

Answer

B

Explanation

Greater the charge and smaller the size of the cation (i.e, `Al^(3+)`), greater the charge density, greater the polarization hence greater is the covalent character. i.e., `AlCl_(3)`.
