Least ionic compound?
a AgCl
b KCl
c BaCl2
d CaCl2
how to determine this?
Dear Student,
The ionic character of the molecule/atom is determined by the influence of covalent bond, as size of cations increases ionic character increases as per the given options ranking of covalency is CaCl2 > KCl > BaCl2 > AgCl.
Among the options AgCl cation is smaller with least ionic character hence answer is Option (A)
