Identify the wrong statement in the following.

Options

  1. AAmongst isoelectronic species, smaller the positive charge on the cation, smaller is the ionic radius
  2. BAmongst isoelectronic species, greater the negative charge on the anion, larger is the ionic radius
  3. CAtomic radius of the elements increases as one moves down the first group of the Periodic Table
  4. DAtomic radius of the elements decreases as one moves across from left to right in the 2 nd period of the Perio

Correct answer

A. Amongst isoelectronic species, smaller the positive charge on the cation, smaller is the ionic radius

Step-by-step solution

Atomic radius of the elements decreases across a period from left to right due to increase in effective nuclear charge. On moving down a group, since, number of shells increases, so atomic radius increases. Amongst isoelectronic species, ionic radius increases with increase in negative charge or decrease in positive charge.
