Which isoelectronic series is correctly arranged in order of increasing radius?

A) K+ < Ca2+ < Ar < Cl

B) < Ar < K+ < Ca2+

C) Ca2+ < Ar < K+ < Cl

D) Ca2+ < K+ < Ar < Cl

E) Ca2+ < K+ < Cl- < Ar

Respuesta :

Answer:

D) Ca2+ < K+ < Ar < Cl-

Explanation:

The isoelectronic series is correctly arranged in order of increasing radius is option D. Ca2+ < K+ < Ar < Cl.

Arranging of isoelectronic series:

Since k+, Ca2+, Cl- and Ar represent the same kind of e- (18) due to this the positive charge increased. The size should be decreased due to the net attraction on outer e- increased and a negative charge should increase the size because the electronic repulsion should be increased.

Therefore, the option d is correct.
