Lithium halides are covalent. This is because of(A) High hydrationenthalpy of Li ion(B) High polarisationcapability of Li ion(D) All of these(C) Large size of Li+ ionwhen compared toother elements in thesame group​

Answer»

Answer:

Lithium halides are covalent in nature,because Li

+

ion due to its SMALLER size than other ALKALI metalcations exerts STRONGER polarizing POWER towards an ion and therefore develops covalent character in the molecule (Fajan's rule).

Both Assertion and Reason are CORRECT and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
