Q3 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2019 (03 May Shift 2) · Chemistry
Among the isoelectronic ions the ions with the least and the highest ionic radius are, respectively
- Correct answerA
- B
- C
- D
Solution
For isoelectronic species,
| Number of electrons | ||||
| Number of protons |
With increase in number of protons in the nucleus the electrons are more attracted towards nucleus, thereby causing the decrease in ionic radius.
Order of ionic radius: .
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
