The correct decreasing order of atomic radii ( pm ) of Li , Be , B and C is
Options
- ABe Li B C
- BLi Be B C
- CC B Be Li
- DLi C Be B
Correct answer
B. Li Be B C
Step-by-step solution
As the atomic number in a period increases, the effective nuclear charge also increases hence, atomic radii along the period decreases. Correct order of atomic radii Li Be B C
