Q. For $N^{3-} >O^{2-}>F^{-} and Na^{+},$ the order in which their ionic radii varies is

WBJEEWBJEE 2016

Solution:

$N^{3-},O^{2-}, F-$ and $Na^{+}$ are all isoelectronic species. As the atomic number increases, nuclear attraction increases, hence the order of ionic radii
$N^{3-}>O^{2-}>F->Na^{+}$
