The order of covalent character of KF, KI, \(\mathrm{KCl}\) is

  1. A \(\mathrm{KCl} < \mathrm{KF} < \mathrm{Kl}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Kl} < \mathrm{KCl} < \mathrm{KF}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{KF} < \mathrm{KI} < \mathrm{KCl}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{KF} < \mathrm{KCl} < \mathrm{Kl}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{KF} < \mathrm{KCl} < \mathrm{Kl}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Covalent character increases with increase in size of anion or decrease with size of cation. As, here cation \(\left(\mathrm{K}^{+}\right)\)in all the species is common, hence the covalent character will increase in the order as: \(\mathrm{KF} < \mathrm{KCl} < \mathrm{Kl}\).
