Question: Which one of the following is expected to have largest size'

Options:

A) $ {{F}^{-}} $

B) $ {{O}^{-2}} $

C) $ A{{I}^{+3}} $

D) $ {{N}^{-3}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] Due to having three electrons atomic size increases. $ {{F}^{-}}=9+1=10 $ electrons; $ {{O}^{-2}}=8+2=10 $ electrons $ A{{I}^{+3}}=13-3=10 $ electrons; $ {{N}^{3-}}=7+3=10{{e}^{-}} $ Because electrostatic force between nucleus and $ {{e}^{-}} $ cloud is least innitrogen.
