MCQ
Consider the isoelectronic species, $Na^+,\,Mg^{2+},\,F^-$ and $O^{2-}$. The correct order of increasing order of their radii is.
  • A
    $F^-< O^{2-} < Mg^{2+} < Na^+$
  • $Mg^{2+} < Na^+ < F^-< O^{2-}$
  • C
    $O^{2-} < F^-< Na^+ < Mg^{2+}$
  • D
    $O^{2-} < F^-< Mg^{2+} < Na^+$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$Mg^{2+} < Na^+ < F^-< O^{2-}$
b
For isoelectronic species size order is

cation $<$ Neutral $<$ Anion
