What happens if the factors in column A are increased?
ABA) Cation sizeI)Polarizability increasesB) Cation chargeII) Polarizing power decreaseC) Anion ChargeIII) Polarizability increasesD) Anion SizeIV) Polarizing power increases
A - II, B - IV, C - I, D - III
Smaller the cation and more its charge, more is its power to distort the electron cloud of anion. Thus,
cation size∝1polarizing power
Cation charge∝polarizing power
Larger the size of anion and its charge, more is its polarizability.
Thus,
Anion size∝polarizability
Anion charge∝polarizability
