Question

State True or False.

For a given cation, greater the polarisability of the anion, more the covalent character.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

For a given cation, greater the polarisability of the anion, more the covalent character.
When anion is large, it has greater polarisability, the outer electrons of anion are loosely held and can be more easily pulled out by the cation.
