1.	A metal, M forms chlorides in +2 and +4 oxidation states. Which of the following statement about these chlorides is correct ?
Answer» `MCl_(2)` is more volatile than `MCl_(4)` `MCl_(2)` is more soluble in anyhydrous ethanol than `MCl_(4)`. `MCl_(2)` is more ionic than `MCl_(4)` `MCl_(2)` is more easily HYDROLYSED than `MCl_(4)`. SOLUTION :Compounds in the lower OXIDATION STATES are moe ionic than those in the HIGHER oxidation states. Thusm `MCl_(2)` is more ionic than `MCl_(4)`.
