Question

Statement 1 : $Ca{F}_2$ is soluble in water but $Ca{l}_2$ not.
Statement 2 : $Ca{F}_2$ is more ionic than $Ca{l}_2$.

• A. If both Statement $1$ and Statement $2$ are true and the statement $2$ is the correct explanation of the statement $1$
• B. If both Statement $1$ and Statement $2$ are true but statement $2$ is not the correct explanation of the statement $1$
• C. If Statement $1$ is true but Statement $2$ is false
• D. If Statement $1$ is false but Statement $2$ is true

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$Ca{F}_2$ is insoluble in water but more ionic having high lattice energy due to small of $F^{-}$.
