Which comparisons are supported by Fajans' polarisation arguments, without pretending that those rules alone calculate solubility or exact melting points?

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
A, C, D
Solution:

Small cation size, greater positive charge and the pseudo-noble-gas d¹⁰ configuration can enhance polarization. A, C and D apply those arguments. Anion polarizability generally increases with size, so iodide, not fluoride, is more readily polarized. Exact phase and solubility behaviour also involves lattice, hydration and other contributions.
