MCQ
The ionic radii of $Li^+ , Be^{2+}$ and $B^{3+}$ follow the order
  • A
    $Be^{2+} > B^{3+} > Li^+$
  • B
    $Li^+ >B^{3+} >Be^{2+}$
  • C
    $B^{3+} > Be^{2+} > Li^+$
  • $Li^+ > Be^{2+} > B^{3+}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$Li^+ > Be^{2+} > B^{3+}$
d
While the $L i^{+}$ will be the largest because the nuclear charge on it (+1) is least out of the three.

$B e^{2+}$ will have the size in between the two cations.

Therefore, the order of ionic radius is $B^{3+}<$$B e^{2+}$

Hence option $D$ is correct
