respectively. One molecule of electrolyte furnishes 'c' cation and 'a' anions. Which expression is not correct?

Q. For the maximum ionic character during bond formation, the low charge on cation and a low charge anion are required.

Why the small size of the cation leads to greater polarising power and why large charge on the cation leads to greater polarising power

Q. The properties of most of the ionic solids deviate from their ideal ionic character because the lattice undergoes some distortion. Cations are usually smaller than anions and have a higher effective nuclear charge. The outer electron cloud in a cation is more firmly held than in an anion. The loose electron cloud of an anion, when attracted by the electron cloud of a cation, gets distorted. This phenomenon is known as polarization. Due to this phenomenon, the electron cloud of an anion shifts towards the cation which decreases both the magnitude of positive charge on the cation and the negative charge on the anion. In other words, covalent character develops in the ionic bond.

Which of the following is an ionic compound?
