  1. A 1.71, 1.36 and 1.40
  2. B 1.36, 1.40 and 1.71
  3. C 1.71, 1.40 and 1.36
  4. D 1.40, 1.36 and 1.71
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 1.71, 1.40 and 1.36

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Among isoelectronic species, greater the negative charge, greater will be the ionic radii. In anionic isoelectronic species there are more numbers of electrons than protons. These protons cannot attract all electrons to come closer. Thus, size of the ion increases. So, correct…
