    The ionic radii\[(\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{A}}\,)\]of \[{{C}^{4-}}\]and\[{{O}^{2-}}\]respectively are 2.60 and 1.40. The ionic radius of th6 isoelectronic ion \[{{N}^{3-}}\]would be

    A)  2.6           

    B)  1.71

    C)  1.4           

    D)  0.95

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     \[{{C}^{4-}},{{N}^{3-}}\]and\[{{O}^{2-}}\]are isoelectronic species. The ionic radius of isoelectronic species decreases with increase the nuclear charge. Hence, the  order of ionic radius is                     \[\begin{align}   & \text{Species:}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{{C}^{4-}}\,>\,\,\,\,{{N}^{3-}}>\,\,{{O}^{2-}} \\  & \text{Ionic}\,\text{radii(}\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\text{)}\,\,\,\,\,\text{2}\text{.60}\,\,\,\,\,\text{1}\text{.71}\,\,\,\,\,\,\text{1}\text{.40} \\ \end{align}\]
