Highly selective Backlog Qs for JEE MainChemistryClassification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties
The radius of La ³⁺ (Atomic number of La =57 ) is 1.06 Å . Which one of the following given values will be closest to the radius of Lu ³⁺ (Atomic number of Lu =71 ) ?
Options
- A1.40 Å
- B1.06 Å
- C0.85 Å
- D1.60 Å
Correct answer
C. 0.85 Å
Step-by-step solution
Ionic radii 1 z Thus, z₂ z₁ 1.06 ( Ionic radii of Lu ³⁺ ) = 71 57 Ionic radii of Lu ³⁺=0.85 Å
