Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
Which of the following cannot be explained on the basis of Fajan's Rules?
Options
- AAg ₂ ~S is much less soluble than Ag ₂ O
- BFe ( OH )₃ is much less soluble than Fe ( OH )₂
- CBaCO ₃ is much less soluble than MgCO ₃
- DMelting point of AlCl ₃ is much less than that of NaCl
Correct answer
C. BaCO ₃ is much less soluble than MgCO ₃
Step-by-step solution
BaCO ₃ is much less soluble than MgCO ₃ due to lower hydration energy of Ba ²⁺ ion than that of Mg ²⁺ ion.
