MCQ
Which one of the following is expected to have largest size
  • A
    ${F^ - }$
  • B
    ${O^{ - 2}}$
  • C
    $A{l^{ + 3}}$
  • ${N^{ - 3}}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
${N^{ - 3}}$
d
(d) Due to having three electrons atomic size increases.

${F^ - } = 9 + 1 = 10$ electrons ; ${O^{ - 2}} = 8 + 2 = 10$ electrons

$Al + 3 = 13 - 3 = 10$ electrons ; ${N^{3 - }} = 7 + 3 = 10\,{e^ - }.$

Because electrostatic force between nucleus and $\bar e$ cloud is least in nitrogen.
