Out of `Li^+, Be^(2+) and B^(3+)` ions, which has the smallest ionic radius and why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

These ions correspond to first three elements present in second period. Since the atomic radius decreases along period, the ionic radius is also expected to follow the same order. Thus, `B^(3+)` ion has the smallest radius.
