Solution
The correct option is BLiCl<BeCl2<BCl3<CCl4 According to Fajans' rule, more the charge on the cation, more is the covalent character. As the charge on the cation increases from LiCl to CCl4, the covalent character also increases in the same manner. Thus, the correct order of increase in the covalent character is: LiCl<BeCl2<BCl3<CCl4
