Which is the most covalent?
Options
- AAlCl ₃
- BAlI ₃
- CMgI ₂
- DNaI
Correct answer
B. AlI ₃
Step-by-step solution
AlI ₃ is the most covalent compound. According to Fajan's rule, covalent character small cation or large anion or positive charge Since, lesser the electronegativity difference more covalent is aluminium halide. Hence, the most covalent halide is AlI ₃ .
