Question

The melting point of $ SnC{{l}_{4}} $ is less than $ SnC{{l}_{2}} $ because in comparison of $ S{{n}^{2+}} $

• A. the size of $ S{{n}^{4+}} $ is smaller
• B. more positive charge on $ S{{n}^{4+}} $
• C. the ionization potential of $ S{{n}^{4+}} $ is more
• D. the structure of $ SnC{{l}_{4}} $ is tetrahedral

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The melting point of $ SnC{{l}_{4}} $ is less than $ SnC{{l}_{2}} $ because the ionization potential of $ S{{n}^{4+}} $ is more than $ S{{n}^{2+}} $ .
