Among the elements Ca, Mg, P and Cl, the order of increasing atomic radii is
- AMg < Ca < Cl < P
- BCl < P < Mg < Ca
- CP < Cl < Ca < Mg
- DCa < Mg < P < Cl
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
Atomic radius decreases on moving from left to right in a period. so order of sizes for Cl, P and Mg is Cl < P < Mg. Down the group size increases. So overall order is : Cl < P < Mg < Ca.
