A) \[MC{{l}_{2}}\] is more volatile than\[MC{{l}_{4}}\]
B) \[MC{{l}_{2}}\]is more soluble in anhydrous ethanol than\[MC{{l}_{4}}\]
C) \[MC{{l}_{2}}\]is more ionic than\[MC{{l}_{4}}\]
D) \[MC{{l}_{2}}\]is more easily hydrolysed than\[MC{{l}_{4}}\]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
\[MC{{l}_{2}}\]oxidation state of\[M=+2\] \[MC{{l}_{4}}\]oxidation state of\[M=+4\] Higher the oxidation state, smaller the size. Greater the polarising power, greater the covalent characteristics. Hence,\[MC{{l}_{4}}\]is more covalent and\[MC{{l}_{2}}\]is more ionic.
