    The following is the correct increasing order of the ionic radii

    A)  \[L{{i}^{+}}<M{{g}^{2+}}<{{K}^{+}}<A{{l}^{3+}}\]

    B)  \[A{{l}^{3+}}<L{{i}^{+}}<M{{g}^{2+}}<{{K}^{+}}\]

    C)  \[A{{l}^{3+}}<M{{g}^{2+}}<{{K}^{+}}<L{{i}^{+}}\]

    D)  \[{{K}^{+}}<A{{l}^{3+}}<M{{g}^{2+}}<L{{i}^{+}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    \[L{{i}^{+}}=60\,\,pm,\,\,\,{{K}^{+}}=133\,\,pm\,\,,\,\,M{{g}^{2+}}=65\,\,pm\],\[A{{l}^{3+}}=53.5\,pm\] The correct increasing order of ionic radii is                 \[A{{l}^{3+}}<L{{i}^{+}}<M{{g}^{2+}}<{{K}^{+}}\] In general, on moving from left to right, the ionic radii decreases due to increased effective nuclear charge. On moving down a group, the number of shells increases and thats why ionic radii increase.
