Which of the following orders of ionic radii is correctly represented?
- H− > H+ > H
- Na+ > F− > O2−
- F− > O2− > Na+
- Al3+ > Mg2+ > N3−
Correct answer: H− > H+ > H
Solution
The ionic radius of H− is larger than H+ and H because H− has an extra electron, increasing electron-electron repulsion, while H+ has no electrons, making it the smallest.
