1. The correct sequence of increasing covalent character is represented by


(1) LiCl < NaCl < BeCl2 (2) BeCl2 < LiCl < NaCl
(3) NaCl < LiCl < BeCl2 (4) BeCl2 < NaCl < LiCl
Sol. Answer (3)
According to Fajan's Rule smaller the size of cation; larger the size of anion more will be the covalent character.
Be2+ < Li+ < Na+ size of cation.
∴ Order of covalent character will be BeCl2 > LiCl > NaCl

3. Which of the following bonds has the highest bond energy?


(1) S–S (2) O–O (3) Se–Se (4) Te–Te
Sol. Answer (1)
Expected high bond energy is in O–O due to high electron-negativity but due to smaller size ∴ will be repulsion
and bond energy will be low
∴ [(S – S) have more bond energy than O–O bond].
