Find the correct order of the given elements with respect to their size
Options
- A( Zn > Fe > Fe ²⁺> Fe ³⁺ )
- B( Fe ²⁺> Fe ²⁺> Zn > Fe )
- C( Fe > Fe ²⁺> Fe ³⁺> Zn )
- D( Zn > Fe ³⁺> Fe ²⁺> Fe )
Correct answer
A. ( Zn > Fe > Fe ²⁺> Fe ³⁺ )
Step-by-step solution
( Zn ) atomic radii is (137 pm ) ( Fe ) atomic radii is (126 pm ) ( Fe ³⁺ ) ionic radius is (63 pm ), ( Fe ²⁺ ) has an ionic radius of (77 pm ). Thus, the correct order of their size is ( Zn > Fe > Fe ²⁺ > Fe ³⁺ ) Hence, the correct option is (a).
