    The Ionic radii of group-12 metals Zn, Cd and Hg are smaller than those of group-2 metals because of Zn, Cd and Hg have

    A)  10 d-electrons which have a large exchange energy

    B)  10 d-electrons which have a large radius ratio

    C)  10 d-electrons which shield the nuclear charge strongly      

    D)  10 d-electrons which shield the nuclear charge poorly

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Zn, Cd and Hg have smaller ionic radii than group elements due to former involve 10 d-electror which have poor shielding effect so that electror are more strongly attracted towards nucleus.
