Which of the following is not an ionic halide ?A. `UF_(4)`B. `PbCl_(2)

1.	Which of the following is not an ionic halide ?A. `UF_(4)`B. `PbCl_(2)`C. `SnCl_(2)`D. `UF_(6)`
Answer» Correct Answer - D `UF_6` has essentially covalent character. This is because small highly charged cations polarise the anions more efectively. For a metal with variable oxidation states, the halide with higher oxidation state of metal will be more covalent than the halide with lower oxidation of the metal. For example, `PbCl_6, SnCl_4 and UF_6`, are more covalent in nature than `PBCI_2, SnCl_2 and UF_4` respectively.

vii. The stability of dihalides of ` Si, Ge , Sn` and Pb increases steadily in the sequence :A. `GeX_(2) lt SiX_(2) lt SnX_(2) lt PbX_(2)`B. `SiX_(2) lt GeX_(2) lt PbX_(2) lt SnX_(2)`C. `SiX_(2) lt GeX_(2) lt SnX_(2) lt PbX_(2)`D. `PbX_(2) lt SnX_(2) lt GeX_(2) lt SiX_(2)`
