Correct answer: B
- Check whether the ions are isoelectronic
We count the number of electrons in each species:
- : Oxygen has electrons, so
- : Fluorine has electrons, so
- : Sodium has electrons, so
- : Magnesium has electrons, so
Thus, all four species have electrons.
So, (A) is correct.
- Check whether all have the same nuclear charge
Nuclear charge depends on the number of protons, i.e. atomic number :
- Oxygen:
- Fluorine:
- Sodium:
- Magnesium:
These are clearly different.
So, (B) is incorrect.
- Compare ionic radii in an isoelectronic series
For an isoelectronic series, radius decreases as nuclear charge increases, because the same number of electrons is attracted more strongly by a greater number of protons.
Here the nuclear charges increase as: with
Therefore, the ionic radii decrease in the order:
So:
- has the largest ionic radius → (C) is correct
- has the smallest ionic radius → (D) is correct
- Select the correct option
Correct statements are:
This matches Option B.
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer = B
My derived answer = B
So, they agree.
