Incorrect statement is
Options
- AM g O > A l F 3 > M g F 2 : Lattice energy
- BL i > N a > M g : Electron affinity
- CS F 6 > P F 5 > S i F 4 : Lewis acidic character
- DS i C l 4 > S i B r 4 > S i I 4 : Decreasing order of electronegativity of S i
Correct answer
C. S F 6 > P F 5 > S i F 4 : Lewis acidic character
Step-by-step solution
Here the incorrect statement is option C as the correct order of Lewis acidic character: P F 5 > S i F 4 > S F 6 . Although, S has vaccant 3d-orbital but it cannot accept co-ordinate bond from Lewis base due to steric crowding factor as S-atom is already bonded to six F-atoms. Rest other statements are correct here.
