The ionic radii in (Ã…) of N ³⁻, O ²⁻ and F ⁻ are respectively.
Options
- A1.71, 1.40 and 1.36
- B1.71, 1.36 and 1.40
- C1.36,1.40 and 1.71
- D1.36,1.71 and 1.40
Correct answer
A. 1.71, 1.40 and 1.36
Step-by-step solution
N ³⁻, O ²⁻ and F ⁻ are isoelectronics ( 10 electrons) species. Their ionic radii will decrease with increase in magnitude of the nuclear charge from N ( Z =7) to O (Z=8) and F(Z=9) . i.e. array ccc N ³⁻ & O ²⁻ & F ⁻ 1.71 Ã… & 1.40 Ã… & 1.36 Ã… array Hence, option (1) is correct.
