MgCl2 because it is the only option in which a metal appears with a nonmetal. In this case, the metal transfers electrons to the nonmental because the metal has a lower ionization energy.

Chlorine can bond with fluorine to form CIF. Chlorine can also bond with lithium to form LiCI Which compound will have a greater

Sergio [31]

Answer: $ClF$ will have a greater partial charge.

Explanation:

A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a low difference of electronegativities between the atoms, thus resulting in charge difference. Example: $ClF$

Non-polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is no difference of electronegativities between the atoms and thus there is no charge difference. Example: $F_2$

Ionic bond is formed when there is complete transfer of electron from a highly electropositive metal to a highly electronegative non metal. The electronegative difference between the elements is high. The charges on cation and anion neutralise each other. Example: $LiCl$
