Question

Zncl2,Cdcl2 which have more covalent character

Answer 1

Answer:

ZnCl2

Explanation:

Hg has f14 system in its inner core. Due to the diffused nature of f-orbital,very poor shielding is possible b/w the inner core electeons and the valence shell electrons. Finally,the polarising power and hence the covalent character increases down the group.
