Statement-1 : LiCl is predominantly a covalent compound.
Statement-2 : Electronegativity difference between Li and
Cl is too small
- Statement 1 is true as LiCl is predominantly a covalent compound
-Statement 2 is false as there is a very big difference between the electrobegativity of lithium and chlorine.
-lithium is highly elctropositive and chlorine is highly electronegative
- the covalent character of LiCl is due to the small size of Lithium cation which causes strong polarisation and hence results in more covalent character
