According to Fajans'rules, the percentage of covalent character in an ionic compound increase if the cation is highly charged or small in size and the anion is large or cation has pseudoinert gas configuration. As a result of the increased covalent character, solubility in less polar solvent increases and the melting point decreases.
The correct order of increasing ionic character is

A

`BeCl_2 lt MgCl_2 lt CaCl_2 lt BaCl_2`

B

`BeCl_2 lt MgCl_2 lt BaCl_2 lt CaCl_2`

C

`BeCl_2 lt BaCl_2 lt MgCl_2 lt CaCl_2`

D

`BaCl_2 lt MgCl_2 lt CaCl_2 lt BeCl_2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
According to Fajan's rule as size of cations increase, their polarising power decreases and thus ionic character increase.So option A is correct.

Metal hydrides are ionic, covalent or molecular in nature. Among LiH, NaH, KH, RbH, CsH the correct order of increasing ionic character is

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 Choose the correct order of polarisability for the following I^(Θ),Br^(Θ),CI^(Θ)F^(Θ) .
