Question

Why fecl3 has greater covalent character than fecl2?

Answer 1

Answer:

FeCl3 has greater covalent character than FeCl2 because Fe3+ion is smaller than Fe2+

Answer 2

Answer:

Fecl3 is more covalent than Fecl2..

Explanation:

According to Fajans rule....

The charge on the ion increases the covalent character also increases because.

a high charge containing cation can polarise the anion more easily

as in fecl3 the charge of fe is +3 and the charge of fe in fecl2 is +2

the charge of fe in fecl3 is more so fecl3 is more covalent.....
