Solution

The correct option is B $R b C l, B e C l_{2}$
The ionic character increases with an increase in the ionic size and decrease in the ionic charge. Hence, among the compounds $L i C l, R b C l, B e C l_{2}$ and $M g C l_{2}$ , $R b C l$ has the greatest ionic character, while $B e C l_{2}$ has the least ionic character.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
