Explain the polarizing power with the ionic radius

Answer 1

Question :

Explain the polarizing power with the ionic radius?

☆ANSWER ☆

It is the basis of Fajan's rules of covalent character in ionic compounds. For cations with the same radius, the higher the charge is, the larger the polarizing power is. For cations with the same charge, the smaller the radius is, the larger the polarizing power .

polarizing power of cation

The ability of a cation to distort an anion is known as its polarization powerand the tendency of the anion to become polarized by the cation is known as its polarizability. Polarizing power can be defined as the ability of a cation to attract the electron cloud towards itself.

the highest polarizing power

Lithium ion (Li⁺) has the maximum polarizing power. The reason is that lithium atom is very small and therefore the ratio of charge per unit area is very high.

☆polarization of ions☆

Polarisation of ions , in a lay men language can be defines as the ability of a cation /anion to become polarised;where polarised means a bond formes b/w two polar atoms.
