MCQ
Which of the following is arranged in decreasing order of size?
  • A
    $Mg^{2+} > Al^{3+} > O^{2-}$
  • $O^{2-}> Mg^{2+} > Al^{3+}$
  • C
    $Al^{3+} >Mg^{2+} >O^{2-}$
  • D
    $Al^{3+} >O^{2-}>Mg^{2+}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$O^{2-}> Mg^{2+} > Al^{3+}$
b
Size $\propto \frac{\text { Negative charge }}{\oplus \text { ve charge }}$

$O^{2-} \,>\,Mg^{+2} \,>\, Al^{+3}$
