Question

The correct increasing order of extent of hydrolysis is:- $CC{l}_4<MgC{l}_2<AlC{l}_3<SiC{l}_4<PC{l}_5$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The given statement is true as the correct increasing order of extent of hydrolysis is $CC{l}_4<MgC{l}_2<AlC{l}_3<SiC{l}_4<PC{l}_5$. As the number of chlorine atoms increases, the charge on the central metal atom increases and the tendency for the nucleeophilic attack increases. Hence, the extent of hydrolysis increases.
