Ques. 1JEE Main 2024, 31 January (Evening Shift)

Which of the following is least ionic?

  1. CoCl2
  2. KCl
  3. BaCl2
  4. AgCl

Answer

(4) AgCl

Solution

Fajans' rule: covalent character ∝ polarising power of the cation

Ag+ ( [Kr]4d10, 18-electron shell): d-electrons shield the nucleus poorly ⇒ very high polarising power ⇒ AgCl most covalent

K+, Ba2+: large, noble-gas configuration ⇒ highly ionic

Co2+ (3d7): small, but no 18-electron shell ⇒ intermediate

∴ Ionic character: AgCl < CoCl2 < BaCl2 < KCl

Answer: (4)
