The species Ar, K+ and Ca2+ contain the same
    number of electrons. In which order do their radii
    increase ?

  • Ca2+ < Ar < K+
  • Ca2+ < K+ < Ar
  • K+ < Ar < Ca2+
  • Ar < K+ < Ca2+
  • Explanation:

    In isoelectronic species
    Atomic radius ∝ 1/Zeff

    hence increasing order of radius is Ca+2 < K+ < Ar

The species Ar, K+ and Ca2+ contain the samenumber of electrons. In which order do their radiiincrea
