To solve the question, "As we descend the electrochemical series containing cations, the tendency of the cations to get _______ at the cathode increases," we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Electrochemical Series**: The electrochemical series is a list of cations arranged according to their standard reduction potentials. The series helps predict the tendency of cations to gain electrons (be reduced) during electrochemical reactions. 2. **Identify the Trend in the Series**: As we move down the electrochemical series, the standard reduction potential of the cations generally increases. This means that cations lower in the series have a greater tendency to gain electrons. ...

Choose the correct word from the brackets to complete the following sentences. Anions are discharged at the anode during electrolysis. The tendency of the anions to get [reduced / oxidised ] at the anode increases on (ascending / descending] the electrochemical series.

in an ionic bond the cation tends to polarise the electron cloud of the anion by pulling electron density towards itself This causes development of covalent character in the ionic bond because the electron density gets localised in between the nuclei The tendency of the cation to bring about the polarisation of the anion is expressed as its polasising power The ability of ion to undergo polarisation is called its polarisability The polarising power of a cation or an anion is decided on the basis of F ajans' rules as follows . (i) The smaller the cation, the higher is its polarising power (ii) Cations with pseudo-noble gas configuration (ns^(2)np^(6)nd^(10)) have relatively high polarising power than those with noble gas configuration (ns^(2) np^(6)) (iii) The larger the size of the anion, the higher is its polarisability The ionic conductance of which of the following is the highest ? .
