JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 3. Classification of elements and periodicity in properties

The correct order of ionic radii for the ions, \(\mathrm{P}^{3-}, \mathrm{S}^{2-}\) \(\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}, \mathrm{K}^{+}, \mathrm{Cl}^{-}\)is :

  1. A \(\mathrm{P}^{3-}>\mathrm{S}^{2-}>\mathrm{Cl}^{-}>\mathrm{K}^{+}>\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Cl}^{-}>\mathrm{S}^{2-}>\mathrm{P}^{3-}>\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}>\mathrm{K}^{+}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{P}^{3-}>\mathrm{S}^{2-}>\mathrm{Cl}^{-}>\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}>\mathrm{K}^{+}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{K}^{+}>\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}>\mathrm{P}^{3-}>\mathrm{S}^{2-}>\mathrm{Cl}^{-}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{P}^{3-}>\mathrm{S}^{2-}>\mathrm{Cl}^{-}>\mathrm{K}^{+}>\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{P}^{3-}>\mathrm{S}^{2-}>\mathrm{Cl}^{-}>\mathrm{K}^{+}>\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}\) (Correct order of ionic radii) all the given species are isoelectronic species. In isoelectronic species size increases with increase of negative charge and size decreases with increase in…
