JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2019 - 12th April Evening Slot - No. 12)

The pair that has similar atomic radii is :
Mo and W
Mn and Fe
Ti and Hf
Sc and Ni

Explanation

Electron configuration of Mo(Molybdenum) = [Kr] 4d5 5s1. So it belongs to 4d series.

Electron configuration of W(Tungsten) = [Xe] 4f14 5d4 6s2. So it belongs to 5d series.

Size of 3d < 4d = 5d. Due to lanthanoid contraction size of 4d and 5d series elements are almost same.
