  • question_answer
    Arrange the following compounds in increasing order of their ionic character: \[SnC{{l}_{2}},SnC{{l}_{4}},SiC{{l}_{4}},Sn{{F}_{4}},Sn{{F}_{2}}\]

    A) \[Sn{{F}_{2}}<SnC{{l}_{2}}<Sn{{F}_{4}}<SnC{{l}_{4}}<SiC{{l}_{4}}\]       

    B) \[Sn{{F}_{2}}<SnC{{l}_{2}}<Sn{{F}_{4}}<SiC{{l}_{4}}<SnC{{l}_{4}}\]

    C) \[SiC{{l}_{4}}<SnC{{l}_{4}}<Sn{{F}_{4}}<SnC{{l}_{2}}<Sn{{F}_{2}}\]

    D) \[SnC{{l}_{4}}<Sn{{F}_{4}}<SnC{{l}_{2}}<Sn{{F}_{2}}<SiC{{l}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] As the size of the cations increases in the order, \[S{{i}^{4+}}<S{{n}^{4+}}<S{{n}^{2+}}\] and for size of anions, \[{{F}^{-}}<C{{l}^{-}}\] so the order of increasing ionic character is, \[SiC{{l}_{4}}<SnC{{l}_{4}}<Sn{{F}_{4}}<SnC{{l}_{2}}<Sn{{F}_{2}}\]
