    Which of the following substances has the least ionic character?

    A)  \[FeC{{l}_{2}}\]                  

    B)  \[CdC{{l}_{2}}\],

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

    D)  \[ZnC{{l}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[Z{{n}^{2+}},\] \[C{{d}^{2+}}\] and \[H{{g}^{2+}}\] all have pseudo inert gas configuration and hence are more polarising than \[F{{e}^{3+}}\] and \[M{{g}^{2+}}\] ions. Further smaller the cation, greater is its polarizing power and hence more covalent is the compound. The \[ZnC{{l}_{2}},\]has least ionic character.
