Question

Given below are two statements : Statement I : The metallic radius of ( Na ) is (1.86 ~A ^ ) and the ionic radius of ( Na ⁺ )is lesser than (1.86 ~A ^ ). Statement II : Ions are always smaller in size than the corresponding elements. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
