Question: The correct order of the increasing ionic character is....

The correct order of the increasing ionic character is.

A

BeCl2<MgCl2<CaCl2<BaCl2BeCl_{2} < MgCl_{2} < CaCl_{2} < BaCl_{2}

B

BeCl2<MgCl2<BaCl2<CaCl2BeCl_{2} < MgCl_{2} < BaCl_{2} < CaCl_{2}

C

BeCl2<BaCl2<MgCl2<CaCl2BeCl_{2} < BaCl_{2} < MgCl_{2} < CaCl_{2}

D

BaCl2<CaCl2<MgCl2<BeCl2BaCl_{2} < CaCl_{2} < MgCl_{2} < BeCl_{2}

Answer

BeCl2<MgCl2<CaCl2<BaCl2BeCl_{2} < MgCl_{2} < CaCl_{2} < BaCl_{2}

Explanation

Solution

BeCl2<MgCl2<CaCl2<BaCl2BeCl_{2} < MgCl_{2} < CaCl_{2} < BaCl_{2}

As we go down the group I.E. decreases. Hence ionic character increases.
