Vedclass · Answer

(A) Ionic character depends on the electronegativity difference between the bonded atoms. $KCl$ and $BaCl_2$ are typical ionic compounds consisting of metal cations and chloride anions. $C_6H_5NH_3^+Cl^-$ is an ionic salt (anilinium chloride). $C_2H_5Cl$ (Ethyl chloride) is an organic compound where the bond between carbon and chlorine is primarily covalent due to the small difference in electronegativity between $C$ and $Cl$. Therefore,$C_2H_5Cl$ is the least ionic among the given options.
