Given below are two statements : Statement ( ( I )): The radii of isoelectronic species increases in the order. ( Mg ²⁺ Na ⁺ F ⁻ O ²⁻ ) Statement (II): The magnitude of electron gain enthalpy of halogen decreases in the order. ( Cl F Br I ) In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Options
- AStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
- BStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- CBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
Correct answer
D. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Step-by-step solution
