Compare the polarizing power and state its reason:
1) Zn^2+
2) Cd^2+
3) Hg^2+
Answers
Explanation:
The polarization power of Cu(I) ions is greater than the polarization power of Sodium(I) ions as copper(I) ions has pseudo inert gas configuration i.e., 18 electrons in outermost shell. For the same reason, the polarization power of silver(I) ions is greater than the polarization power of K(I) ions.
Thus, the options B and C are correct and the options A and D are incorrect.
Answer:
The ability of a cation to distort an anion is known as its polarization power and the tendency of the anion to become polarized by the cation is known as its polarizability. ... Small cation: the high polarizing power stems from the greater concentration of positive charge on a small area.
