MCQ
The atomic radius of elements of which of the following series would be nearly the same
  • A
    $Na$,$K$,$Rb$,$Cs$
  • B
    $Li$,$Be$,$B$,$C$
  • $Fe$,$Co$,$Ni$,$Cu$
  • D
    $F$,$Cl$,$Br$,$I$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$Fe$,$Co$,$Ni$,$Cu$
c
(c) $Fe,\,Co,\,Ni,\,Cu$.

Due to shielding of $d-$electrons, the effect of increased nuclear charge due to increase in atomic no. neutralised.

Consequently atomic radius remains almost unchanged after chromium.
