A) F
B) Br
C) Po
D) Pb
I picked C, because it has the largest atomic mass, and the polarizability is directly related to the atomic/molecular mass.
Yet somehow the answer is D.
The question is followed one.
Which has the smallest polarizability?
A) Si
B) S
C) Te
D) Bi
I picked Si, because it has the lowest atomic mass. Again, the answer is different. The correct answer is written as B.
What am I doing wrong?
Are the shells which the electrons occupy to be taken into account?
