Classification Of Elements And Periodicity In Properties Question 127

Question: The order of the magnitude of ionic radii of ions $ {{N}^{3-}},{{O}^{2-}} $ and $ {{F}^{-}} $ is [MP PMT 1996]

Options:

A) $ {{N}^{3-}}>{{O}^{2-}}>{{F}^{-}} $

B) $ {{N}^{3-}}<{{O}^{2-}}<{{F}^{-}} $

C) $ {{N}^{3-}}>{{O}^{2-}}>{{F}^{-}} $

D) $ {{N}^{3-}}<{{O}^{2-}}>{{F}^{-}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ {{N}^{3-}}>{{O}^{2-}}>{{F}^{-}} $ . All are isoelectronic but nuclear charge per electron is highest for $ {{F}^{-}} $ , so it has smallest size.
