When is a cation highly polarising? Which alkali metal cation has the highest polarising power?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A cation ion is highly polarising if its charge / radius ratio is very high . `Li^(+)` ion has the highest polarising power among the alkali metal ion because it has highest charge/ radius ratio.
