Elements/ions having same number of electrons are known as isoelectronic species. Arrange the following elements incorrect order of atomic/ionic radii and choose the correct from the four choices given below
`O^(2-), Na^(+), Mg^(2+), F^(-), Al^(3+)`

A

`Al^(3+)lt Mg^(2+)lt Na^(+) lt F^(-)lt O^(2-)`

B

`Al^(3+)lt Na^(+)lt Mg^(2+)lt F^(-)lt O^(2-)`

C

`Al^(3+)gt Mg^(2+)gt Na^(+)gt O^(2-)`

D

None of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Elements/ions having equal number of electrons are known as isoelectronic species. Among isoelectronic species, cation `lt` Neutral atom `lt` Anion
Hence, correct choice is
`Al^(3+)lt Mg^(2+)lt Na^(+)F^(-)lt O^(2-)`
