    Which of the following has maximum value of cation/ anion ratio?              

    A) \[KCl\]         

    B) \[NaCl\]

    C) \[Ca{{F}_{2}}\]    

    D) \[MgC{{l}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Among the three options\[KCl\], \[NaCl\] and \[MgC{{l}_{2}}\], the size of anion is same. So larger the cation, larger will be the cation/anion ratio i.e., \[KCl\] will have larger cation/anion ratio among the three. So, we left with two options \[KCl\] and \[Ca{{F}_{2}}\]. Among these two \[Ca{{F}_{2}}\] will have maximum value of cation/ anion ratio because decrease in ionic radii of anion from \[C{{l}^{-}}\] to \[{{F}^{-}}\] does not overcome the effect of decrease in ionic radii of cation from \[{{K}^{+}}\] to \[C{{a}^{2+}}\].
