    The order of magnitude of ionic radii of ions \[N{{a}^{+}},M{{g}^{2+}},A{{l}^{3+}}\]and\[S{{i}^{4+}}\]is

    A)  \[N{{a}^{+}}>S{{i}^{4+}}>A{{l}^{3+}}>M{{g}^{2+}}\]

    B)  \[M{{g}^{2+}}>N{{a}^{+}}>A{{l}^{3+}}>S{{i}^{4+}}\]

    C)  \[N{{a}^{+}}>M{{g}^{2+}}>A{{l}^{3+}}>S{{i}^{4+}}\]

    D)  \[S{{i}^{4+}}>A{{l}^{3+}}>M{{g}^{2+}}>N{{a}^{+}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[N{{a}^{+}},M{{g}^{2+}},A{{l}^{3+}}\] and\[S{{i}^{4+}}\]are isoelectronic but nuclear charge per electron is greatest for\[S{{i}^{4+}},\]hence it has smallest size and nuclear charge per electron for\[N{{a}^{+}}\]is smallest, therefore it has largest size.
