Which from following compounds is most covalent?
- A \(\mathrm{SbCl}_3\)
- B \(\mathrm{PbCl}_2\)
- C \(\mathrm{SnCl}_4\)
- D \(\mathrm{SnCl}_2\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\mathrm{SnCl}_4\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The metal halides having metals in their higher oxidation states are more covalent than the ones having metals in lower oxidation state.
\(\therefore \quad \mathrm{SnCl}_4\) is highly covalent in nature.
\(\therefore \quad \mathrm{SnCl}_4\) is highly covalent in nature.
