MCQ
Ionic radii are
  • A
    Directly proportional to effective nuclear charge
  • B
    Directly proportional to square of effective nuclear charge
  • Inversely proportional to effective nuclear charge
  • D
    Inversely proportional to square of effective nuclear charge.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Inversely proportional to effective nuclear charge
c
(c) $n^{th}$ Ionic radius in the nth orbit is given by ${r_n} = \frac{{{n^2}a}}{z}$ or ${r_n} \propto \frac{1}{Z}$

where $n$ is principal equation no., $a$ bohr's radius of hydrogen atom and $Z$ is the effective nuclear energy.
