    What is the radius of iodine atom (at. no. 53, mass number 126)                                                [CBSE PMT 1993]

    A)            \[2.5\times {{10}^{-11}}m\]

    B)            \[2.5\times {{10}^{-9}}m\]

    C)            \[7\times {{10}^{-9}}m\] 

    D)            \[7\times {{10}^{-6}}m\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               Electronic configuration of iodine is 2, 8, 18, 18, 7,                    Here \[{{r}_{n}}=(0.053\times {{10}^{-9}}m)\frac{{{n}^{2}}}{Z}\]                    Here \[n=5\]and \[_{Z-1}{{X}^{A-4}}{{\xrightarrow{_{0}{{\gamma }^{0}}}}_{Z-1}}{{X}^{A-4}}\]hence \[{{r}_{n}}=2.5\times {{10}^{-11}}m\].
