The increasing order of covalency in silver halides is

A

`AgF lt AgCl lt AgBr`

B

`AgF lt AgBr lt AgF`

C

`AgCl lt AgBr lt AgF`

D

`AgCl lt AgF lt AgBr`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
As the size of halide is increased, it is more polarizable by `Ag^+` and hence larger is the covalency of silver halide.
