Question

Correct order
of
electronegativity
difference between
bonded atoms is:
NaCl < AICI: < MgCl2
,
AICI: < MgCl, < NaCl
NaCl < MgCl2 < AICI:
MgCl2 < NaCl < AICI:​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer

Increasing covalent character of NaCl,MgCl

2

,AlCl

3

is NaCl<MgCl

2

<AlCl

3

.

As the charge on the cation increases, the electrostatic attraction of the cation for the outer electrons of the anions also increases. Due to this, the ability for forming covalent bond increases.
