Answer:

Among the following, the maximum covalent character is shown by which compound?

A. FeCl2

B. SnCl2

C.AlCl3

D.MgCl2

ANSWER

As the cation charge increases, the covalent character also increases.

According to Fajans rule, cation with greater charge and smaller size favour covalency.

All the central metals have +2 oxidation except for Al which has +3 oxidation state.

Hence, Al shows more covalent character as compared to others.
