Chemistry - CHEMICAL BONDING Question with Solution | TestHub

For comparable salts, a smaller highly charged cation favours covalent character.

With a fixed cation, iodide is generally more polarizable than bromide.

In CsI₃, caesium is formally +3 because three iodines are present.

For a fixed halide, the +4 state of tin generally polarizes the anion more strongly than its +2 state.
