Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) i, iii, iv only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to Fajan rule, for covalent character, cation should be small in size and should have high positive charge and anion should be large in size and contain high negative charge. (i) Iodine have more size than \(\mathrm{F}^{-}\)so, \(\mathrm{KI}\gt\mathrm{KF}\) (ii)…
