Question

The correct order of decreasing ionic nature of lead dihalides is –

A

PbF₂> PbCl₂> PbBr₂> PbI₂

B

PbF₂> PbBr₂> PbCl₂> PbI₂

C

PbF₂< PbCl₂< PbBr₂< PbI₂

D

PbI₂< PbBr₂< PbCl₂< PbF₂

Answer

PbF₂> PbCl₂> PbBr₂> PbI₂

Explanation

Solution

Larger anion are more easily deformed to produce covalent nature. also note decreasing ionic nature and not increasing.
