    The ions\[{{N}^{3-}},{{O}^{2-}},{{F}^{-}},N{{a}^{+}}M{{g}^{2+}}\]are isoelectronic. Their ionic radii show

    A)  an increase from\[{{N}^{3-}}\]to\[{{F}^{-}}\]and then decrease from\[N{{a}^{+}}\]to\[M{{g}^{2+}}\]

    B)  a decrease from\[{{N}^{3-}}\]to\[{{F}^{-}}\]and then increase from\[N{{a}^{+}}\]to\[M{{g}^{2+}}\]

    C)  a significant increase from\[{{N}^{3-}}\]to\[M{{g}^{2+}}\]

    D)  a significant decrease from\[{{N}^{3-}}\]to\[M{{g}^{2+}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Ionic radii \[\propto \frac{1}{effective\text{ }nuclear\text{ }ch\arg e({{Z}_{eff}})}\] \[\propto negative\text{ }charge\]                 \[\propto \frac{1}{positive\text{ }charge}\] Hence, as the negative charge increases, ionic radii increases and with increase in positive charge ionic radii decrease. Hence, ionic radii decreases from\[{{N}^{3-}}\]to\[M{{g}^{2+}}\]
