Q3 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2024 (21 May Shift 2) · Chemistry
The correct order of atomic radii of N, F, Al, Si is
- A$\mathrm{F}\gt\mathrm{N}\gt\mathrm{Si}\gt\mathrm{Al}$
- B$\mathrm{F}\gt\mathrm{N}\gt\mathrm{Al}\gt\mathrm{Si}$
- C$\mathrm{Al}\gt\mathrm{Si}\gt\mathrm{F}\gt\mathrm{N}$
- Correct answerD$\mathrm{Al}\gt\mathrm{Si}\gt\mathrm{N}\gt\mathrm{F}$
Solution
In periodic table, left to right atomic radii decreases and from top to bottom atomic radii increases.
$\therefore \quad \mathrm{Al}\gt\mathrm{Si}\gt\mathrm{N}\gt\mathrm{F}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
