The correct order of atomic radii of \(\mathrm{B}, \mathrm{Be}, \mathrm{N}\) and \(\mathrm{C}\) is

  1. A \(\mathrm{Be} < \mathrm{B} < \mathrm{C} < \mathrm{N}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{N} < \mathrm{B} < \mathrm{C} < \mathrm{Be}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{N} < \mathrm{C} < \mathrm{B} < \mathrm{Be}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Be} < \mathrm{C} < \mathrm{B} < \mathrm{N}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{N} < \mathrm{C} < \mathrm{B} < \mathrm{Be}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Atomic radii generally decreases in a period from left to right due to an increase in the effective nuclear charge. Thus, \({ }_7 \mathrm{~N} < { }_6 \mathrm{C} < { }_5 \mathrm{~B} < { }_4 \mathrm{Be}\)
