Which of the following has largest ionic radius?
Options
- ACs ⁺
- BLi ⁺
- CNa ⁺
- DK ⁺
Correct answer
A. Cs ⁺
Step-by-step solution
Atomic and ionic radii increase from top to bottom in a group due to the inclusion of another shell at every step. Hence, Cs ⁺ ion will be the largest among given IA group ions, i.e. Na ⁺, Li ⁺ and K ⁺ .
