Correct answer: A
- Interpret the options
The option text is clearly garbled, but from the topic and the visible ionic species, option A appears to represent the common isoelectronic set:
This is a standard periodicity question asking for the increasing order of ionic radii.
- Use the isoelectronic principle
All these ions have 10 electrons:
- :
- :
- :
- :
So they are isoelectronic.
For an isoelectronic series, ionic radius decreases as nuclear charge increases.
Their nuclear charges are:
- :
- :
- :
- :
Thus, the smallest ion is the one with highest , and the largest is the one with lowest .
So the order of increasing ionic radii is:
- Match with the options
This sequence corresponds to Option A.
- Final answer
The correct increasing order is:
Hence, Option A is correct.
