Question

Given below are two statements: Statement I : K > Mg > Al > B is the correct order in terms of metallic character. Statement II : Atomic radius is always greater than the ionic radius for any element. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Statement I: Metallic character decreases from left to right across a period and increases down a group. K (Group 1, Period 4) is the most metallic element among these. Mg (Group 2, Period 3) is less metallic than K. Al (Group 13, Period 3) is less metallic than Mg. B (Group 13, Period 2) is a metalloid with the least metallic character. The order K > Mg > Al > B correctly represents decreasing metallic character. TRUE. Statement II: Atomic radius compared to ionic radius depends on whether the ion is a cation or a
