MCQ
$K^+, Cl^-, Ca^{2+}$ and  $S^{2-},$  ions are isoelectronic. The decreasing order of their size is
  • $S^{2-} > Cl^-> K^+ > Ca^{2+}$
  • B
    $Ca^{2+} > K^+ > Cl^-> S^{2-}$
  • C
    $K^+ > Cl^-> Ca^{2+} > S^{2-}$
  • D
    $Cl^-> S^{2-} > Ca^{2+} > K^+$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$S^{2-} > Cl^-> K^+ > Ca^{2+}$
a
The decreasing order is : $S ^{2-}\,>\, Cl ^{-}\,>\, K ^{+}\,>\, Ca ^{2+}$. Anions are larger than cations. More the negative charge more is the size.
