Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Increasing order of polarizability of the atoms,
Concept introduction:
Polarizability means the ability of the ions to diffuse its electron density to form a stable covalent bond. The polarizability is basically defined for the anions. The more is the extent of the diffusion of electron density of the anion more is its polarizability.
(b)
Interpretation:
Increasing order of polarizability of the compounds, chloroform, fluoroform, iodoform is to be stated and explained.
