The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the incorrect order of covalent character, thermal stability, melting point, and boiling point, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Fajan's Rule**: - Fajan's rule helps us determine the covalent character of ionic compounds based on the size and charge of the cation and anion. - The key points are: - Smaller cations have higher polarizing power, leading to greater covalent character. - Larger anions are more polarizable, which also increases covalent character. - Higher charge on cations increases polarizing power and thus covalent character. 2. **Analyzing Option A (Covalent Character)**: - We compare the covalent character of PbCl4, CaCl2, SrCl2, and BaCl2. - PbCl4 has a +4 oxidation state, indicating a high covalent character. - For the alkaline earth metals (Ca, Sr, Ba), as we move down the group, the size increases, leading to lower covalent character. - Thus, the order is: PbCl4 > CaCl2 > SrCl2 > BaCl2. - This order is correct. 3. **Analyzing Option B (Thermal Stability)**: - Thermal stability is inversely proportional to covalent character. - The order of covalent character for halides is I- < Br- < Cl- < F- (as size increases). - Therefore, the order of thermal stability (which is the inverse) is: F- > Cl- > Br- > I-. - This order is correct. 4. **Analyzing Option C (Melting Point)**: - Melting point is also inversely proportional to covalent character. - For halides, the order of covalent character is the same as in Option B. - Thus, the order of melting points (inverse of covalent character) will be: F > Cl > Br > I. - This order is correct. 5. **Analyzing Option D (Boiling Point)**: - The boiling point is directly proportional to surface area and molecular mass. - For CHCl3, CH3Cl, and CCl4: - CCl4 has the highest molecular mass (4 Cl atoms), followed by CHCl3 (1 C, 3 Cl), and then CH3Cl (1 C, 1 Cl). - Therefore, the correct order of boiling points should be: CCl4 > CHCl3 > CH3Cl. - The order given in the question is incorrect. ### Conclusion: - The incorrect order is found in **Option D**.
