    The smallest among the following ion is:

    A)  \[M{{g}^{2+}}\]                              

    B)  \[N{{a}^{+}}\]  

    C)         \[B{{a}^{2+}}\]

    D)         \[A{{l}^{3+}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    As we move from left to right in a period, the atomic size of elements decrease, hence among Na, Mg and Al, Al will be smallest. Further atomic size decrease with increase in oxidation number. Hence \[A{{l}^{3+}}\] ion is quite smaller than other three ions as it has maximum positive charge (+ 3).
