    Which of the following is the smallest anion?

    A)  \[{{O}^{2-}}\]    

    B) \[{{S}^{2-}}\]

    C)  \[C{{l}^{-}}\]                                     

    D) \[B{{r}^{-}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    The size of ion decreases in a period from left to right and increases on moving from top to bottom in a group. Hence, the order of ionic radii is as- Anion:                   \[{{O}^{2-}}<C{{l}^{-}}<{{S}^{2-}}<B{{r}^{-}}\] Ionic radii:    142 pm 181 pm 184 pm 196 pm
