Which alkaline earth metal sulfate has the largest ionic radius?
Options
- ABeryllium sulfate (BeSO 4 )
- BMagnesium sulfate (MgSO 4 )
- CCalcium sulfate (CaSO 4 )
- DBarium sulfate (BaSO 4 )
Correct answer
D. Barium sulfate (BaSO 4 )
Step-by-step solution
Barium sulfate (BaSO 4 ) has the largest ionic radius among alkaline earth metal sulfates due to the larger size of the barium ion (Ba2+).
