Arrange the following molecules in decreasing order of their polarity : CaO , KCl , MgO .
CaO , KCl , MgO
MgO , CaO , KCl
KCl, CaO , MgO
KCl , MgO , CaO
As we learnt
Fajan's rule -
1. Smaller the cation larger is its polarising power
2. Bigger the anion, larger is its polarisability
3. Larger the charge on cation, greater is its polarising power
-
According to Fajan's rule, polarity increases as the size of the cation increases.
