Structure of Atom - Result Question 46

####50. The ions O2,F,Na+,Mg2+ and Al3+ are isoelectronic. Their ionic radii show [2003]

(a) A decrease from O2 to Fand then increase from Na+to Al3+

(b) A significant increase from O2 to Al3+

(c) A significant decrease from O2 to Al3+

(d) An increase from O2 to Fand then decrease from Na+to Al3+

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (c) Amongst isoelectronic species, ionic radii of anion is more than that of cations. Further size of anion increases with increase in -ve charge and size of cation decreases with increase in + ve charge. Hence, ionic radii decreases from Oto Al3+.
