More metal fluorides are ionic in nature than metal chlorides. Assign appropriate reasons. |
| Answer» Solution :According to Fajan rules, a bigger anion is more easily POLARIZED than a smaller anion. THUS, the same metal can POLARIZE bigger `Cl^(-)` ion more easily than the smaller `F^(-)` ion. In other words, for the same metal, the metal fluoride is more ionic than metal chloride. Therefore, in GENERAL, we can easily SAY that more metal fluorides are ionic than metal chlorides. | |
