    Which ion has the largest radius?

    A)  \[S{{e}^{2-}}\]            

    B)  \[{{F}^{-}}\]

    C)  \[{{O}^{2-}}\]             

    D)  \[R{{b}^{+}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Being isoelectronic, greater the nuclear charge, smaller the size and lesser the nuclear charge, larger the size. \[\underset{(A.N.=8)}{\mathop{{{O}^{2-}}}}\,\,\,\,\,\,>\,\,\,\,\underset{(A.N.=9)}{\mathop{{{F}^{-}}}}\,\] (10 electrons) \[\underset{(A.N.=34)}{\mathop{S{{e}^{2-}}}}\,\,\,\,\,>\,\,\,\,\underset{(A.N.=37)}{\mathop{R{{b}^{+}}}}\,\] electrons) \[\therefore \,\,\,S{{e}^{2-}}\] has largest radius.
