Passage / Comprehension

In the heavier elements of p-block elements, however as we expect form the "inert pair effect, the lower oxidation state becomes more common on descending the group."

Covalent nature in ionic compound is explained on the basis of polarisation effect.

Which of the following compound is most covalent nature?

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

$SnCl_{4}$ is most covalent in nature. Because covalent nature $\propto$ polarisation power of cation.

Due to the small size and high positive charge of $Sn^{+ 4}$ , it can polariser $Cl^{⊖}$ ion more.
