Which of the following sequences is the correct order of the size of species?
Options
- A>I⁺>I⁻
- BI ⁻> I ⁺> I ⁻
- C1⁺>I⁻>I⁻
- DI⁻>I^ >I⁺
Correct answer
D. I⁻>I^ >I⁺
Step-by-step solution
For a particular element, the order of size of anion, cation and neutral species is anion > element > cation. Cation has smallest size due to greater (Z_ eff ) effective nuclear charge. Size is inversely proportional to Z_ eff , which is directly proportional to positive charge. Thus, I ⁻> I > I ⁺ .
