The ion with smallest radius among the following is
Options
- ACa ²⁺
- BK ⁺
- CTi ⁴⁺
- DSc ³⁺
Correct answer
C. Ti ⁴⁺
Step-by-step solution
All the given species have the elements belonging to the same period and ionic radii decrease in a period from left to right. Ti ⁴⁺ lies to the right of the other species and would be even more small due to a greater positive charge. Thus, order of radii would be :- ` K ⁺> Ca ²⁺> Sc ³⁺> Ti ⁴⁺
