Question

Which one of them is more ionic $LiCl$ or $NaCl$ ?

• A. $NaCl$
• B. $LiCl$
• C. Both are equally ionic
• D. Can't say

Answer 1

The correct option is A $NaCl$

Due to smaller size lithium has greater polarising power than sodium [larger in size than $Li$] hence greater covalent charecter in $LiCl$ than $NaCl$ hence $NaCl$ is more ionic than $LiCl$.
