The correct increasing order of the ionic radii is
Options
- ACl - < Ca 2 + < K + < S 2 -
- BK + < S 2 - < Ca 2 + < Cl -
- CS 2 - < Cl - < Ca 2 + < K +
- DCa 2 + < K + < Cl - < S 2 -
Correct answer
D. Ca 2 + < K + < Cl - < S 2 -
Step-by-step solution
For isoelectronic species, as nuclear charge increases radius decreases. Greater the positive charge, the lesser the size of the ion. Greater the negative charge, the larger the size of an ion.         Ca 2 + <   K +   <   Cl -   <   S 2 - p     20                   19               17                 16 e     18   &
