    Which one is most ionic?

    A) \[{{P}_{2}}{{O}_{5}}\]                                    

    B) \[Mn{{O}_{2}}\]

    C) \[M{{n}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\]               

    D) \[{{P}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    According to Fajan's rule compounds having large charge on cation are more covalent or least electrovalent. So, compounds having low charge on cation will be more electrovalent or ionic. \[\begin{matrix}    \overset{+4}{\mathop{Mn{{O}_{2}}}}\, & \overset{+7}{\mathop{M{{n}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}}}\,  \\    \overset{+5}{\mathop{{{P}_{2}}{{O}_{5}}}}\, & \overset{+3}{\mathop{{{P}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}}}\,  \\ \end{matrix}\] So, \[{{P}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}\] will be most ionic.
