CuCl is more covalent than NaCl. Give reason. |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) Cation having `ns^(2)np^(6)nd^(10)` configuration show greter polarsing power than the CATIONS with `ns^(2)np^(6)` configuration. Hence they show greater COVALENT character. (ii) CuCl is more covalent than NaCl. As compared to `Na^(+) (1.13A), Cu^(+) (0.6A)` is small and has `3S^(2)3p^(6)3D^(10)` configuration. (iii) Electronic configuration of `Cu^(+)` : `[Ar]2d^(10)` Electroic contiguratton of `Na^(+)` : `[He] 2s^(2)2P^(6)` So CuCl is more covalent than NaCl |
