The correct order of ionic radii for the ions, P 3 - , S 2 - , Ca 2 + , K + , Cl - is :
Options
- AP 3 - > S 2 - > Cl - > K + > Ca 2 +
- BP 3 - > S 2 - > Cl - > Ca 2 + > K +
- CCl - > S 2 - > P 3 - > Ca 2 + > K +
- DK + > Ca 2 + > P 3 - > S 2 - > Cl -
Correct answer
A. P 3 - > S 2 - > Cl - > K + > Ca 2 +
Step-by-step solution
P 3 - S 2 - C - K + Ca 2 + Z 15 16 17 19 20 No . of   e - 18 18 18 18 18 For isoelectronic species greater is Z smaller is radius. So correct order P 3 - > S 2 - > Cl - > K + > Ca 2 +
