Question

polarizing power of the following anions N 3 - O2 - and F - follow the order ​

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Explanation:

polarizing power depant on

1. anions size
2. charge of anion

• when anions size increace polarizing power also increace
• when charge increace polarizing power also increace

bothe are increace in D

Answer 2

The polarizing power of given anions is in the order if (d) N³⁻>O²⁻>F⁻.

• The polarizing power is the potential of an ion to distort the electron cloud of the opposite charge ion.
• The polarizing power of anion is called polarizability.
• It mainly depends on the charge of the anion and the size of the anion. But the charge on an ion is a more dominating factor.
• The larger the anion, the greater its polarizability.
• The more the charge on an anion, the more it is polarizability.
• So, N³⁻ has the maximum polarizability because of its highest charge on the ion.
• Hence, option (D) is the correct answer.
