The ionic radii ( in Å ) of N 3 - , O 2 - and F - are respectively:
Options
- A1 . 71 ,   1 . 36   and   1 . 40
- B1 . 36 ,   1 . 40   and   1 . 71
- C1 . 36 ,   1 . 71   and   1 . 40
- D1 . 71 ,   1 . 40   and   1 . 36
Correct answer
D. 1 . 71 ,   1 . 40   and   1 . 36
Step-by-step solution
As Z e ↑ ionic radius decreases for isoelectronic species. Z = number   of   protons e = number   of   electrons N 3 - Z e = 7 1 0 O 2 - Z e = 8 1 0 F - Z e = 9 1 0 Trend of ionic radius: N 3 - > O 2 - > F -
