Which among the following is correct decreasing order of covalent character of ionic bond?
Options
- AAlCl ₃> MgCl ₂> NaCl
- BAlCl ₃> NaCl > MgCl ₂
- CMgCl ₂> MgCl ₂> AlCl ₃
- DNaCl > MgCl ₂> AlCl ₃
Correct answer
A. AlCl ₃> MgCl ₂> NaCl
Step-by-step solution
More is the change on cation greater is polarising power and more is the covalent character order of polarizing power Al ⁺³> Mg ⁺²> Na ⁺
