Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The given ions are to arrange in increasing order of radius.
Concept introduction:
Atomic size depends on the placement of molecules in periodic table.
Left to right, atomic radius decreases and top to bottom, radius increases.
Same trend is applicable for ions.
Answer to Problem 61A
Increasing order of radius is:
Explanation of Solution
The ions which are to be arranged in increasing order of radius are isoelectronic.
Ions | ||||
Protons | 12 | 11 | 9 | 8 |
Electrons | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 |
Thus, all ions have same number of electrons but different number of protons.
As seen from table, effective nuclear charge of
So the trend is:
Thus, in isoelectronic species, atomic radius increases with decrease in effective nuclear charge
