Which of the following arrangements represents the increasing order (smallest to largest) of ionic radii of the given species O 2– , S 2– , N 3– , P 3– ?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
For isoelectronic species ionic radii decreases as the charge on ion decreases. Further on moving down in a group ionic radii increases. Hence the correct order is
