Q26 / 60 · NEST (NISER) 2020 (Session 2) · Chemistry

The correct order of ionic radius is:

  • A
    $\mathrm{Na}^{+} \lt \mathrm{Mg}^{2+} \lt \mathrm{F}^{-} \lt \mathrm{O}^{2-} \lt \mathrm{N}^{3-}$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $\mathrm{Mg}^{2+} \lt \mathrm{Na}^{+} \lt \mathrm{F}^{-} \lt \mathrm{O}^{2-} \lt \mathrm{N}^{3-}$
  • C
    $\mathrm{F}^{-} \lt \mathrm{O}^{2-} \lt \mathrm{N}^{3-} \lt \mathrm{Na}^{+} \lt \mathrm{Mg}^{2+}$
  • D
    $\mathrm{N}^{3-} \lt \mathrm{O}^{2-} \lt \mathrm{F}^{-} \lt \mathrm{Na}^{+} \lt \mathrm{Mg}^{2+}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
