Question

Among the following the maximum covalent character is shown by the compound: (A) FeCl2 (B) SnCl2 (C) AlCl3 (D) MgCl2

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

AlCl3 will show maximum covalent character on account of higher polarizing power of Al3+ because of its higher positive charge and smaller size (Fajan’s rule).

Q. Among the following the maximum covalent character is shown by the compound:

$F e C l_{2}$

$S n C l_{2}$

$A lC l_{3}$

$M g C l_{2}$

$A lC l_{3}$ will show maximum covalent character on account of higher polarizing power of $A l^{3 +}$ because of its higher positive charge and smaller size (Fajan’s rule).
