Question

pseudo noble gas configuration and its effect on polarization?? will polarization increase or decrease.full detail pls
no spamming​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Electronic configuration of the cation: for two cations of the same size and charge, the one with a pseudo noble-gas configuration (with 18 electrons in the outer-most shell) will be more polarizing than that with a noble gas configuration (with 8 electrons in the outermost shell).

Hope it helps.....

Answer 2

All noble gases have general electronic configuration ns^2 np^6 except helium which has 1s^2.1

If two cations have the same size and charge, then the one with pseudo noble gas configuration ( with 18 electrons in the outermost shell) has greater polarising power than the other with noble gas configuration (with 8 electrons in the outermost shell). This explains why CuCl is more covalent than NaCl
