Question:medium

Arrange the following in the increasing order of their covalent character.
\[ CaF_2;\; CaCl_2;\; CaBr_2;\; CaI_2 \]

Show Hint

Larger anions are more polarizable and increase covalent characterAlways apply Fajan's rule in such questions.

  • \( CaF_2 < CaI_2 < CaBr_2 < CaCl_2 \)
  • \( CaF_2 < CaCl_2 < CaI_2 < CaBr_2 \)
  • \( CaCl_2 < CaF_2 < CaBr_2 < CaI_2 \)
  • \( CaF_2 < CaCl_2 < CaBr_2 < CaI_2 \)
Show Solution

The Correct Option is D
