The polarizing power of the following anions, N3-,O2- and F- , follow the order

Question

The polarizing power of the following anions, N3-,O2- and F- , follow the order (A)  N3- > F- > O2-  (B)  O2- > N3- > F-  (C)  O2- > F- > N3-  (D)  N3- > O2- > F-

Since, polarising power increases with the size of anion, thus the order will be N3- > O2- > F-

Q. The polarizing power of the following anions, $N^{3 -}, O^{2 -}$ and $F^{-}$ , follow the order

$N^{3 -} > F^{-} > O^{2 -}$

$O^{2 -} > N^{3 -} > F^{-}$

$O^{2 -} > F^{-} > N^{3 -}$

$N^{3 -} > O^{2 -} > F^{-}$

Since, polarising power increases with the size of anion, thus the order will be
$N^{3 -} > O^{2 -} > F^{-}$

Q. The polarizing power of the following anions, N3−,O2− and F− , follow the order

N3−>F−>O2−

O2−>N3−>F−

O2−>F−>N3−

N3−>O2−>F−
