Periodic Classification and Periodic Properties 2 Question 14

14. The correct order of radii is

$(2000,1 \mathrm{M})$

(a) $\mathrm{N}<\mathrm{Be}<$ B

(b) $\mathrm{F}^{-}<\mathrm{O}^{2-}<\mathrm{N}^{3-}$

(c) $\mathrm{Na}<\mathrm{Li}<\mathrm{K}$

(d) $\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}<\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}<\mathrm{Fe}^{4+}$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 14. (b)

Solution:

  1. Among isoelectronic species, greater the negative charge, greater the ionic size, hence $\mathrm{F}^{-}<\mathrm{O}^{2-}<\mathrm{N}^{3-}$.
