The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct order of increasing radii among the given ions, we need to analyze each option based on the principles of ionic size and isoelectronic species. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Ionic Sizes**: - Cations (positively charged ions) are smaller than their parent atoms because they lose electrons, leading to a decrease in electron-electron repulsion. - Anions (negatively charged ions) are larger than their parent atoms because they gain electrons, increasing electron-electron repulsion. 2. **Analyzing Option A**: - The ions given are \( \text{Be}^{2+}, \text{Mg}^{2+}, \text{Na}^{+} \). - \( \text{Be}^{2+} \) has the smallest radius because it has the highest positive charge (+2), which pulls the electrons closer to the nucleus. - \( \text{Mg}^{2+} \) is larger than \( \text{Be}^{2+} \) but smaller than \( \text{Na}^{+} \) because it also has a +2 charge. - \( \text{Na}^{+} \) is the largest as it has a +1 charge. - Thus, the order is: \[ \text{Be}^{2+} < \text{Mg}^{2+} < \text{Na}^{+} \] 3. **Analyzing Option B**: - The ions given are \( \text{K}^{+}, \text{Ca}^{2+}, \text{S}^{2-} \). - All these ions are isoelectronic with the electronic configuration of Argon. - For isoelectronic species, the size of cations decreases with increasing positive charge, while the size of anions increases with increasing negative charge. - Thus, the order is: \[ \text{Ca}^{2+} < \text{K}^{+} < \text{S}^{2-} \] - This option is incorrect as it does not follow the increasing order. 4. **Analyzing Option C**: - The ions given are \( \text{O}^{2-}, \text{F}^{-}, \text{N}^{3-} \). - These ions are also isoelectronic with the electronic configuration of Neon. - The order of increasing size for anions is: \[ \text{F}^{-} < \text{O}^{2-} < \text{N}^{3-} \] - This option is also incorrect. 5. **Analyzing Option D**: - The ions given are \( \text{S}^{2-}, \text{O}^{2-}, \text{As}^{3-} \). - Here, \( \text{S}^{2-} \) is larger than \( \text{O}^{2-} \) due to the increased number of electrons. - \( \text{As}^{3-} \) will be the largest due to its position in the periodic table and the additional negative charge. - Thus, the order is: \[ \text{O}^{2-} < \text{S}^{2-} < \text{As}^{3-} \] - This option is also incorrect. ### Conclusion: The correct order of increasing radii is found in **Option A**: \[ \text{Be}^{2+} < \text{Mg}^{2+} < \text{Na}^{+} \]
