The correct order of decreasing ionic nature of lead dihalides is :
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
PbF2>PbCl2>PbBr2>PbI2\mathrm{Pb}{\mathrm{F}_2} > \mathrm{PbC}{\mathrm{l}_2} > \mathrm{PbB}{\mathrm{r}_2} > \mathrm{Pb}{\mathrm{I}_2}
Option A (PbF2>PbCl2>PbBr2>PbI2\mathrm{Pb}{\mathrm{F}_2} > \mathrm{PbC}{\mathrm{l}_2} > \mathrm{PbB}{\mathrm{r}_2} > \mathrm{Pb}{\mathrm{I}_2}) is correct because ionic character decreases with increasing size of the halide ion due to increasing covalent character (Fajan's rule).
