Q23 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2017 · Chemistry
The set representing the right order of ionic radius is
- A$\mathrm{Li}^{+}>\mathrm{Na}^{+}>\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}>\mathrm{Be}^{2+}$
- B$\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}>\mathrm{Be}^{2+}>\mathrm{Li}^{+}>\mathrm{Na}^{+}$
- C$\mathrm{Na}^{+}>\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}>\mathrm{Li}^{+}>\mathrm{Be}^{2+}$
- Correct answerD$\mathrm{Na}^{+}>\mathrm{Li}^{+}>\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}>\mathrm{Be}^{2+}$
Solution
As charge on cation increases size decrease and down the group size increases.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
