The ion with smallest radius among the following is

  1. A \(\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{K}^{+}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Ti}^{4+}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Sc}^{3+}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{Ti}^{4+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

All the given species have the elements belonging to the same period and ionic radii decrease in a period from left to right. \(\mathrm{Ti}^{4+}\) lies to the right of the other species and would be even more small due to a greater positive charge. Thus, order of radii would be…
