Class 11 Chemistry - Chapter Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties NCERT Solutions | The size of isoelectronic species &mdash

Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 11th Chemistry - Chapter Classification of Elements and Periodicity in Properties. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Excercise ".$ex_no." , Question 36: the size of isoelectronic species mdash f ndash....
Question 36

The size of isoelectronic species — F, Ne and Na+ is affected by

(a) Nuclear charge (Z )

(b) Valence principal quantum number (n)

(c) Electron-electron interaction in the outer orbitals

(d) None of the factors because their size is the same.

Answer

Isoelectronic species are the species belonging to different atoms or ions which have same number of electrons but different magnitudes of nuclear charges.

The size of an isoelectronic species increases with a decrease in the nuclear charge (Z). For example, the order of the increasing nuclear charge of F-, Ne, and Na+ is as follows:

F- < Ne < Na+

Z     9     10     11

Therefore, the order of the increasing size of F-, Ne and Na+ is as follows:

Na+ < Ne < F-
