The correct order of decreasing polarisability of ion is

A

`Cl^(ɵ) gt Br^(ɵ) gt I^(ɵ) gt F^(ɵ)`

B

`F^(ɵ) gt I^(ɵ) gt Br^(ɵ) gt Cl^(ɵ)`

C

`I^(ɵ) gt Br^(ɵ) gt Cl^(ɵ) gt F^(ɵ)`

D

`F^(ɵ) gt Cl^(ɵ) gt Br^(ɵ) gt I^(ɵ)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
As the size of anion decreases, the polarisability decreases (small cation, large anion, high charge, more covalent or more polarisability) (Fajans' rule).
