The correct order of atomic radii of B , Be , N and C is
Options
- ABe < B < C < N
- BN < B < C < Be
- CN < C < B < Be
- DBe < C < B < N
Correct answer
C. N < C < B < Be
Step-by-step solution
Atomic radii generally decreases in a period from left to right due to an increase in the effective nuclear charge. Thus, ₇ ~N < ₆ C < ₅ ~B < ₄ Be
