Which proposed orders are FALSE? For melting comparisons use these supplied values: MgCl₂=714°C, CaCl₂=772°C, SrCl₂=874°C.

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
B, D
Solution:

A matches the data. Mg²⁺ is the smallest and most polarizing cation, so the simple covalent-character order in B is reversed. Higher charge enhances the formal tin cation's polarizing effect, making C true. Anion polarizability increases from chloride to iodide, rejecting D.
