Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure - Result Question 10
####10. Strongest bond is in between
(a) $CsF$
(b) $NaCl$
(c) Both (a) and (b)
(d) None of above
Show Answer
Solution:
- (a) According to Fajan’s rule, ionic character increases with increase in size of the cation and decrease in size of the anion. Thus, CsF has higher ionic character than $NaCl$ and hence bond strength of $CsF$ is stronger than $NaCl$.
