Arrange the given species F , F - , O and O - 2 in the order of their radii
Options
- AO 2 - > F - > O > F
- BO 2 - > F - > F > O
- CF - > O 2 - > F > O
- DO 2 - > O > F - > F
Correct answer
A. O 2 - > F - > O > F
Step-by-step solution
Atomic radius decreases on going from left to right in a period. Thus size of O > F and size of anion is larger then their atoms. As O 2 - and F - are isoelectronic, therefore, size of O 2 - > F - .
