The correct order of ionic size of \(N^{3-} , Na^+ ,F^- , Mg^{2+}\) and \(O^{2-}\) is

  1. A \(Mg^{2+} > Na^+ > F^- > O^{2-} < N^{3-}\)
  2. B \(N^{3-} < F^- > O^{2-} > Na^+ > Mg^{2+}\)
  3. C \(Mg^{2+} < Na^+ < F^- < O^{2-} < N^{3-}\)
  4. D \(N^{3-} > O^{2-} > F^- > Na^+ < Mg^{2+}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(Mg^{2+} < Na^+ < F^- < O^{2-} < N^{3-}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Ionic size increases with the addition of electrons and ionic size decreases with the loss of electrons. The nitride ion, has \(10\) electrons in contrast to only \(7\) protons. It has high inter electronic repulsions due to which it has the maximum size. The increasing order of…
