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 answer
    D
    $\mathrm{Na}^{+}>\mathrm{Li}^{+}>\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}>\mathrm{Be}^{2+}$

Solution

As charge on cation increases size decrease and down the group size increases.

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