प्रश्न
The halides of transition elements become more covalent with increasing oxidation state of the metal. Why?
Advertisements
उत्तर
As the oxidation state of the element increases, its charge increases. To Fajans rules, as the charge of the metal ion increases covalent character increases because the positively charged cation attracts the electron cloud on the anion towards itself.
