Question

Arrange these ions in order of increasing ionic radius: K⁺ ,P^3- ,S^2- ,Cl^-. A)K+ < Cl^- < S^2- < P^3- B)K⁺ < P^3- < S^2- < Cl^- C)P^3- < S^2- < C^l- < K⁺ D)Cl^- < S^2- < P^3- < K⁺ E)Cl^- < S^2- < K⁺ < P^3-

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ionic radius increases with the addition of electrons and decreases with the loss of electrons. P^3- has the largest radius due to the addition of three electrons, followed by S^2-, Cl^-, and K⁺ with the smallest radius due to the loss of an electron.
