    The ions \[{{O}^{2-}},\,{{F}^{-}},\,N{{a}^{+}},M{{g}^{2+}}\] and \[A{{l}^{3+}}\] are isoelectronic. Their ionic radii show:                                                                                                                     [AIPMT 2003]

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

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

    C)       a significant increase from \[{{O}^{2-}}\] to \[A{{l}^{3+}}\]

    D)       a significant decrease from \[{{O}^{2-}}\] to \[A{{l}^{3+}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    On increasing atomic number of isoelectronic species ionic radii decreases due to increasing the effective nuclear charge \[({{Z}_{eff}})\]
                Radius \[\propto \,\,\frac{1}{{{Z}_{eff}}}\]
                So, by increasing the \[-ve\] charge ionic radii increases and by increasing the \[+ve\] charge ionic radii decreases.
                Hence, order of radii
    \[{{O}^{2-}}>{{F}^{-}}>N{{a}^{+}}>M{{g}^{2+}}>A{{l}^{3+}}\]
