MCQ
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason$(R):$

Assertion $(A):$ The ionic radii of $O ^{2-}$ and $Mg ^{2+}$ are same.

Reason $( R )$ : Both $O ^{2-}$ and $Mg ^{2+}$ are isoelectronic species.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

  • A
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation of $( A )$
  • B
    Both $(A)$ and $(R)$ are true but $(R)$ is not the correct explanation of $(A)$
  • C
    $(A)$ is true but $(R)$ is false
  • $(A)$ is false but $(R)$ is true

Answer

Correct option: D.
$(A)$ is false but $(R)$ is true
d
Ionic radius of $O ^{2-}$ is more than that of $Mg ^{2+}$

Both $O ^{2-}$ and $Mg ^{2+}$ are isoelectronic with $10$ electrons
