  1. A CaF2
  2. B CaCl2
  3. C CaBr2
  4. D CaI2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) CaI2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The polarity of bond will be higher, then the ionic character will be higher. The electronegativity decreases down the group. The electronegativity difference more, then the compound has the more ionic character. The electronegativity order is F>Cl>Br>I. So, the…
