The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correct order of increasing radii among the given species, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Species:** - The first option includes: Be²⁺, Mg²⁺, and Na⁺. - The second option includes: K⁺, Ca²⁺, and S²⁻. - The third option includes: O²⁻, F⁻, and N³⁻. - The fourth option includes: S²⁻, O²⁻, and As³⁻. 2. **Analyze Option A: Be²⁺, Mg²⁺, Na⁺:** - All three species are cations with different charges. - Be²⁺ has the highest positive charge, thus it will have the smallest radius due to the greater effective nuclear charge pulling the electrons closer. - Mg²⁺ has a lower positive charge than Be²⁺, so it will be larger than Be²⁺ but smaller than Na⁺. - Na⁺ has the lowest positive charge, so it will have the largest radius among the three. - **Order:** Be²⁺ < Mg²⁺ < Na⁺ (This option is correct.) 3. **Analyze Option B: K⁺, Ca²⁺, S²⁻:** - All three species are isoelectronic with 18 electrons. - S²⁻ has the highest negative charge, which leads to a larger radius due to electron-electron repulsion. - K⁺ is a cation with a lower charge than S²⁻, so it will be smaller than S²⁻ but larger than Ca²⁺. - Ca²⁺ has the highest positive charge, so it will have the smallest radius. - **Expected Order:** Ca²⁺ < K⁺ < S²⁻ (This option is incorrect as the order is reversed.) 4. **Analyze Option C: O²⁻, F⁻, N³⁻:** - All three species are isoelectronic with 10 electrons. - N³⁻ has the highest negative charge, resulting in the largest radius due to increased electron-electron repulsion. - F⁻ is smaller than N³⁻ but larger than O²⁻, which has the smallest radius due to its higher nuclear charge. - **Expected Order:** O²⁻ < F⁻ < N³⁻ (This option is incorrect as the order is reversed.) 5. **Analyze Option D: S²⁻, O²⁻, As³⁻:** - S²⁻ and O²⁻ are both anions, while As³⁻ is a larger anion. - S²⁻ has a higher negative charge than O²⁻, making it larger. - As³⁻ has more electron shells than both S²⁻ and O²⁻, making it the largest. - **Expected Order:** O²⁻ < S²⁻ < As³⁻ (This option is incorrect as the order is reversed.) ### Conclusion: The only correct order of increasing radii is from option A: **Be²⁺ < Mg²⁺ < Na⁺**.
