The correct sequence which shows decreasing order of the ionic radii of the elements is
Options
- AAl ³⁺> Mg ²⁺> Na ⁺> F ⁻> O ²⁻
- BNa ⁺> Mg ²⁺> Al ³⁺> O ²⁻> F
- CNa ⁺> F > Mg ²⁺> O ²⁻> Al ³⁺
- DO ²⁻> F > Na ⁺> Mg ²⁺> Al ³⁺
Correct answer
D. O ²⁻> F > Na ⁺> Mg ²⁺> Al ³⁺
Step-by-step solution
For isoelectronic species higher the Z e ratio, smaller the ionic radius z e for aligned & O ²⁻= 8 10 =0.8 & ~F ⁻= 9 10 =0.9 & Na ⁺= 11 10 =1.1 & Mg ²⁺= 12 10 =1.2 & Al ³⁺= 13 10 =1.3 aligned
