    Which one of the following is correct order   of the size?

    A)  \[I>{{I}^{-}}>{{I}^{+}}\]    

    B)  \[I>{{I}^{+}}>{{I}^{-}}\]

    C)  \[{{I}^{+}}>{{I}^{-}}>I\]

    D)  \[{{I}^{-}}>I>{{I}^{+}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    The size of the cation is always smaller than that of its parent atom and size of the anion is always larger than that of its parent atom. \[\therefore \] Size of the cation \[\propto \frac{1}{magnitude\,of\,positive\,\text{charge}}\] Size of the anion \[\propto \] magnitude of negative charge Hence, the correct order of the size is                 \[{{I}^{-}}>I+{{I}^{+}}\]
