Question

What is the best reason for the difference in properties of LiCl and C6H14O?
LiCl and C6H14O have different atomic masses.
Cl and O belong to different groups of the periodic table.
One compound is ionic, and the other is metallic.
One compound is covalent, and the other is ionic.

Answer 1

Answer: Difference in properties of these two compounds are because one compound is covalent and the other one is ionic.

Explanation: LiCl is an inorganic compound having high electronegativity difference between the two elements and hence, is termed as an ionic compound.

$C_6H_{14}O$ is a organic compound formed by the sharing of electrons between the elements, hence is termed as a covalent compound.

Hence, the properties are different because one of the compound is covalent and other is ionic.

Answer 2
