Zr and Hf have same atomic and ionic radii because

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Atomic radius
The distance from the centre of the nucleus to the outermost shell of electrons in the atom of any element is called its atomic radius.
Ionic radius
The effective distance from the centre of nucleus of an ion upto which it has an influence on its electron cloud is called its ionic radius.
