What is the bonding nature in LiCl bond?


A) Pure ionic

B) pure covalent

C) coordinate bond

D) ionic and covalent

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

LiCl is ionic as well as covalent. LiCl is ionic because Li is metal and Cl is non-metal and has the electrostatic force of attraction between positive $(Li^{+})$ and negative ($Cl^{-}$) ion.

 LiCl is covalent because smaller size of $Li^{\oplus}$ easily polarise the larger size of $Cl^{-}$   ion. Thus, it is covalent as well as ionic
