Some more examples for the polarization of ions |
|
Answer» Explanation:The CLASSIC example is to star with NaCl then go across the periodic table, changing only the cation, ending up at SiCl4. NaCl is purely IONIC and SiCl4 is covalent! Going across the period, we have INCREASED the polarizing power of the POSITIVE ion and kept the negative ion the same. |
