The correct order of atomic radii of given elements is

  1. A \(\mathrm{B} \lt \mathrm{Be} \lt \mathrm{Mg}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Mg} \lt \mathrm{Be} \lt \mathrm{B}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Be} \lt \mathrm{B} \lt \mathrm{Mg}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{B} \lt \mathrm{Mg} \lt \mathrm{Be}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{B} \lt \mathrm{Be} \lt \mathrm{Mg}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In periodic table atomic radii decrease from left to right and increase from top to bottom. Mg is placed in 3 rd period and \(\mathrm{Be}, \mathrm{B}\) are in second period so, Mg have more atomic radii then Be and B .
