JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2021 - 27th August Evening Shift - No. 5)

The correct order of ionic radii for the ions, P3$$-$$, S2$$-$$, Ca2+, K+, Cl$$-$$ is :
P3$$-$$ > S2$$-$$ > Cl$$-$$ > K+ > Ca2+
Cl$$-$$ > S2$$-$$ > P3$$-$$ > Ca2+ > K+
P3$$-$$ > S2$$-$$ > Cl$$-$$ > Ca2+ > K+
K+ > Ca2+ > P3$$-$$ > S2$$-$$ > Cl$$-$$

Explanation

P3$$-$$ > S2$$-$$ > Cl$$-$$ > K+ > Ca2+ (Correct order of ionic radii)

all the given species are isoelectronic species. In isoelectronic species size increases with increase of negative charge and size decreases with increase in positive charge.
