`SaCI_(4)` is a convalent lquid because

A

electron clouds of the `CI^(-)` ions are weakly polarized to envelop the cation

B

electron clouds of the `CI^(-)` ions are strongly polarized to envelop the cation

C

its molecules are attracted to one another by strong van der Waals forces

D

So shown inert pair effect

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Because of high charge density on `Sn^(4+)` it ha shigh polarising power and thus leads to greater polarisation of anion i.e., greater distortion of electron clouds of the `CI^(-)` ions . So `SuCI_(4)` is most covalent.
