Question:

The covalent alkaline earth metal halide (X = Cl, Br, I) is:

SrX2

BeX2

CaX2

MgX2

Solution:

Correct option is C. BeX2
Solution:- (C)BeX2
As we move down the group in the alkaline earth metal the ionic characteristics increases and the covalent characteristics decreases. Thus, BeX2 shows the covalent characteristics.
