    Consider the ions : \[{{K}^{+}},\,{{S}^{2-}},C{{l}^{-}}\] and \[C{{a}^{2+}}.\] The radii of these ionic species follow the order

    A)  \[C{{a}^{2+}}>{{K}^{+}}>C{{l}^{-}}>{{S}^{2-}}\]

    B)  \[C{{l}^{-}}>{{S}^{2-}}>{{K}^{+}}>C{{a}^{2+}}\]

    C)  \[C{{a}^{2+}}>C{{l}^{-}}>{{K}^{+}}>{{S}^{2-}}\]

    D)  \[{{K}^{+}}>{{S}^{2-}}>C{{l}^{-}}>C{{a}^{2+}}\]

    E)  \[{{S}^{2-}}>C{{l}^{-}}>{{K}^{+}}>C{{a}^{2+}}\]

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

                     Ionic radii\[\propto \frac{1}{{{Z}_{eff}}}\]\[\propto \text{negative}\,\text{charge}\,\propto \frac{\text{1}}{\text{positive}\,\text{charge}}\] Thus, the correct order of ionic radii of these ions is \[{{S}^{2-}}>C{{l}^{-}}>{{K}^{+}}>C{{a}^{2+}}\]
