The correct answer is: LiCl<BeCl2<BCl3<CCl4
Electro negativity differences M-Cl bond decreases as we move from LiBeBC and therefore, covalent character increase in the order 'C'.
Covalent nature charge on ion.
On moving left to right across the period covalent nature increases so the order is LiCl<BeCl2<BCl3<CCl4 .
