Question

The radius of cation is Rc, anion is Ra, Za is nuclear charge of anion Zc is nuclear charge of cation and S is the screening constant.then which prove Rc/Ra=(Za-S)/(Zc-S)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Ionic radius is inversely proportional to effective nuclear charge because r

Ionic radius is inversely proportional to effective nuclear charge because r ionic∝ Z eff

Ionic radius is inversely proportional to effective nuclear charge because r ionic∝ Z eff

1 Ionic radii decrease as the effective nuclear charge increases. Further, the ionic radius increases as the screening effect increases.

Ionic radii decrease as the effective nuclear charge increases. Further, the ionic radius increases as the screening effect increases.Hence, option C is correct.
