Question
The set representing the correct order of ionic radius is

Answer

b
The set representing the correct order of ionic radius is $N a^{+}>L i^{+}>M g^{2+}>A l^{3+}>B e^{2+}$.

In a period, on moving from left to right, the ionic radius decreases. Hence, $N a^{+}>M g^{2+}>A l^{3+}$ and $L i^{+}>B e^{2+}$

In a group, on moving down from top to bottom, the ionic radius increases. Hence, $N a^{+}>L i^{+}$ and $M g^{2+}>B e^{2+}$
