What is the correct order of atomic radius of \(\mathrm{Al}, \mathrm{Na}, \mathrm{B}\) and \(\mathrm{Be} ?\)

  1. A \(\mathrm{Be} < \mathrm{Na} < \mathrm{Al} < \mathrm{B}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{B} < \mathrm{Be} < \mathrm{Al} < \mathrm{Na}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Al} < \mathrm{Be} < \mathrm{B} < \mathrm{Na}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Na} < \mathrm{Al} < \mathrm{B} < \mathrm{Be}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{B} < \mathrm{Be} < \mathrm{Al} < \mathrm{Na}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

So, \(\mathrm{B} < \mathrm{Be} < \mathrm{Al} < \mathrm{Na}\) is the correct order of atomic radius because along a period atomic radius decreases but the group atomic radius increases.
