Arrange the following ions in the order of decreasing `X-O` bond length where X is the central atom:

Options

A. `ClO_(4)^(-),SO_(4)^(2-),PO_(4)^(2-),SiO_(4)^(-)`
B. `SiO_(4)^(4-),PO_(4)^(3-),SO_(4)^(2-),ClO_(4)^(-)`
C. `SiO_(4)^(4-),PO_(4)^(3-),ClO_(4)^(-),SO_(4)^(2-)`
D. `SiO_(4)^(4-),SO_(4)^(2-),PO_(4)^(3-),ClO_(4)^(-)`

Answer

B

Explanation

More will be the electronegativity of X, lesser will be the bond length of X-O bond
