Question:

Identify the correct order of the size of the following.

Updated On: Apr 30, 2024
  • $Ca^{2+} < K^+ < Ar < S^{2-} < Cl^{-}$
  • $Ca^{2+} < K^+ < Ar < Cl^- < S^{2-}$
  • $Ar < Ca^{2+} < K^+ < Cl^- < S^{2-}$
  • $Ca^{2+} < Ar < K^+ < Cl^- < S^{2-}$

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

A cation has always the lesser ionic size than a metal atom due to loss of electrons and an anion has always the greater size than metal atom due to gain of electrons. So, the correct order of size is as
$ \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, \, Ca^{2+} < K^+ < Ar < Cl^- < S^{2-}$

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes - Classification

Classification of Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are as follows:

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are Classified on the Basis of the Number of Halogen Atoms:

These are further classified as mono, di, or polyhalogen (tri-,tetra-, etc.) compounds depending on whether they contain one, two or more halogen atoms in their structures. For example;

  • Monohaloalkane
  • Dihaloalkane
  • Trihaloalkane

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are Classified on Compounds Containing sp3 C—X Bond (X= F, Cl, Br, I)

This class includes:

  • Alkyl halides or haloalkanes (R—X)
  • Allylic halides
  • Benzylic halides

Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are Classified on Compounds Containing sp2 C—X Bond

This class includes:

  • Vinylic halides
  • Aryl halides
