MCQ
Covalency favoured in the following case
  • A
    smaller cation
  • B
    larger anion
  • C
    large charge on cation and anions
  • all of these

Answer

Correct option: D.
all of these
d
Covalency is favored in the following cases:

$(A)$ a smaller cation : High charge density results in more attraction for the bond pair of electrons.

$(B)$ a larger anion : Low charge density results in less attraction for the bond pair of electrons.

$(C)$ large charges on cation or anion : With increase in the charge, the electrostatic attraction between cation and the bond pair of electrons increases.
