Which of the following is the correct order of radius?
Options
- A( H ⁻> H > H ⁺ )
- B( Na ⁺> F ⁻> O ²⁻ )
- C( F ⁻> O ²⁻> Na ⁺ )
- D( Al ³⁺> Mg ²⁺> N ³⁻ )
Correct answer
A. ( H ⁻> H > H ⁺ )
Step-by-step solution
The size of anion is always higher than that of the parentatom due to the decrease in effective nuclear charge on anion ( (Z_ eff ) ) while, the size of cation is always smaller than parent atom due to lesser ( (Z_ eff ) ) than parent atom. Hence, the correct given order is ( H⁻>H>H⁺ )
