Question

Rank the following compounds in order of increasing attraction between their ions: KBr, SrBr₂, and CsBr. A) CsBr < KBr < SrBr₂ B) SrBr₂< CsBr < KBr C) KBr < SrBr₂ < CsBr D) CsBr < SrBr₂ < KBr E) SrBr₂ < KBr < CsBr

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The attraction between ions is influenced by the charge and size of the ions. SrBr2 has the highest ionic attraction due to the +2 charge on Sr, while CsBr has the lowest due to the larger size of Cs+.
