Question
According to hard and soft acid-base principle, a hard acid
- Has low charge density
- Shows preference for soft bases
- Shows preference for donor atoms of low electronegativity
- Is not polarizable
The correct answer is: Is not polarizable
A hard acid has high charge density, shows preference for hard bases 
., for atoms of high electronegativity. Moreover, its outer electrons are not easily distorted ., it is non-polaris able.
