From: AIEEE 2011
Question
Among the following the maximum covalent character is shown by the compound :
Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: B
Correct answer
BAlCl3
Step-by-step explanation
Charge of cation/Size of cation is called polarising power.
(i) Polarising power charge of cation
(ii) Polarising power
Here the AlCl3 is satisfying the above two conditions i.e., Al is in +3 oxidation state and also has small size. So it has more covalent character.
