The type of oxide formed by the element among Li, Na, Be, Mg, B and Al that has the least atomic radius is :
- AAO
- BAO2
- CA2O
- DA2O3
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
-
Identify the element with the least atomic radius among .
Atomic radius generally:
- decreases across a period from left to right,
- increases down a group.
Now compare the given elements:
- Period 2:
- Period 3:
Since atomic radius decreases across a period, in period 2: and in period 3:
Also, period 2 elements are generally smaller than corresponding period 3 elements.
Therefore, the smallest atomic radius among all given elements is for:
-
Find the oxide formed by boron.
Boron commonly forms the oxide:
This matches the general formula:
-
Match with the options:
- A:
- B:
- C:
- D:
Hence the correct option is:
