    Correct order of polarising power is:

    A)  \[C{{s}^{+}}<{{K}^{+}}<M{{g}^{2+}}<A{{l}^{3+}}\]

    B)  \[{{K}^{+}}<C{{s}^{+}}<M{{g}^{2+}}<A{{l}^{3+}}\]

    C)  \[C{{s}^{+}}<{{K}^{+}}<A{{l}^{3+}}<M{{g}^{2+}}\]

    D)  \[{{K}^{+}}<C{{s}^{+}}<A{{l}^{3+}}<M{{g}^{2+}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Key Idea:\[Polari\sin g\,power\propto \frac{1}{cation\text{ }size}\] and greater the value of positive charge on the cation, smaller will be its size. \[\therefore \]\[A{{l}^{3+}}\]is smallest in size. \[\therefore \] Correct order of polarising power is \[C{{s}^{+}}<{{K}^{+}}<M{{g}^{2+}}<A{{l}^{3+}}\]
