Arrange the following in order of the increasing covalent character: MCl, MBr, MF, MI (where M = alkali metal). |

Answer» t character: An electron is shared MUTUALLY by two atoms, in between these two atoms an ionic bond is PRESENT. In the periodic table, as we go down the group, the size of the halogens increases whereas its electro negativity decreases down the group. The increase in covalent character is in the order of MF < MCI < MB < MI where, M refers to any ALKALI metals. |
