Question:

The radii of $F , F ^{-}, O$ and $O ^{-2}$ are in the order of

Updated On: Feb 8, 2024
  • $O ^{2-}> O > F ^{-}> F$
  • $F ^{-}> O ^{2-}> F > O$
  • $O ^{2-}> F ^{-}> F > O$
  • $O ^{2-}> F ^{-}> O > F$

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

We know that anion is always larger than the corresponding atom therefore $F ^{-}> F$ and $O ^{2-}> O$ Also, in a period, size of the atom decreases from left to right due to greater force of attraction exerted correct order is : $O ^{2-}> F ^{-}> O > F$

P-Block Elements

  • P block elements are those in which the last electron enters any of the three p-orbitals of their respective shells. Since a p-subshell has three degenerate p-orbitals each of which can accommodate two electrons, therefore in all there are six groups of p-block elements.
  • P block elements are shiny and usually a good conductor of electricity and heat as they have a tendency to lose an electron. You will find some amazing properties of elements in a P-block element like gallium. It’s a metal that can melt in the palm of your hand. Silicon is also one of the most important metalloids of the p-block group as it is an important component of glass.

P block elements consist of:
