Polarization is the distortion of the anion by an adjacently placed cation. Which of the following statement is correct?

A

Maximum polarization is brought about by a cation of high charge

B

Maximum polarization is brought about by a cation of low radius

C

A large cation is linkely to bring about a large degree of pollarization

D

A small anion is linkely to undergo a large degree of pollarization

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
According to Fajans' rule, polarisation of anion is influenced by charge and size of cation . More is the charge on cation more is polarisation of anion
