JEE Main2012ChemistryStructure of AtomActual
The increasing order of the ionic radii of the given isoelectronic species is :
Options
- ACl ⁻, Ca ²⁺, K ⁺, S ²⁻
- BS ²⁻, Cl ⁻, Ca ²⁺, K ⁺
- CCa ²⁺, K ⁺, Cl ⁻, S ²⁻
- DK ⁺, S ²⁻, Ca ²⁺, Cl ⁻
Correct answer
C. Ca ²⁺, K ⁺, Cl ⁻, S ²⁻
Step-by-step solution
For isoelectronic species, as the z/e decreases, ionic radius increases
