Consider Li⁺,F^-,and O^2-.Which ratio should be the largest? A)(radius Li⁺)/(radius F^-) B)(radius Li⁺)/(radius O^2-) C)(radius F^-)/(radius Li⁺) D)(radius O^2-)/(radius Li⁺)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

O^2- has the largest ionic radius due to its higher negative charge and electron-electron repulsion, while Li⁺ has a smaller radius due to its positive charge and loss of an electron.
