Question

The reason for the light yellow colour of AgBr is: (A)  AgBr is more covalent due to more polarizing power of Ag+ (B)  AgBr is less covalent (C) both (a) and (b) (D) none of the above

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

AgBr is more covalent than AgCl due to higher polarisibility of Br -ion (due to large size). Therefore AgBr is light yellow in colour.

Q. The reason for the light yellow colour of $A g B r$ is:

$A g B r$ is more covalent due to more polarizing power of $A g^{+}$

$A g B r$ is less covalent

both (a) and (b)

none of the above

$A g B r$ is more covalent than $A g Cl$ due to higher polarisibility of $B r^{-}$ ion (due to large size). Therefore AgBr is light yellow in colour.

AgBr is more covalent due to more polarizing power of Ag+

AgBr is less covalent
