The increasing order of the atomic radius of Si , S , Na , Mg , Al is
Options
- AS < Si < Al < Mg < Na
- BNa < Al < Mg < S < Si
- CNa < Mg < Si < Al < S
- DNa < Mg < Al < Si < S
Correct answer
A. S < Si < Al < Mg < Na
Step-by-step solution
As we move from left to right in a period, effective nuclear charge increases. Due to this atomic radius decreases. Thus, correct order of atomic radii of 3^ rd period elements is Na > Mg > Al > Si > S
