Which of the following statement is incorrect?

  1. A A cation is smaller than an anion if they are isoelectronic.
  2. B Out of \(\mathrm{P}^{3-}, \mathrm{S}^{2-}\) and \(\mathrm{Cl}^{-}, \mathrm{Cl}^{-}\)ion is larger in size.
  3. C All transition elements are metals.
  4. D The ionic radii of lanthanoids in trivalent state decrease with increasing atomic numbers.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Out of \(\mathrm{P}^{3-}, \mathrm{S}^{2-}\) and \(\mathrm{Cl}^{-}, \mathrm{Cl}^{-}\)ion is larger in size.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that, for isoelectronic species, greater the negative charge on ion, larger is the size of ion. \(\mathrm{P}^{3-}\) ion is larger in size, than \(\mathrm{S}^{2-}\) and \(\mathrm{Cl}^{-}\)ions. So, statement (b) is incorrect.
