    Which of the following isoelectronic species has the largest size?

    A)  \[N{{a}^{+}}\]

    B)  \[{{O}^{2-}}\]

    C)  \[{{N}^{3-}}\]

    D)  \[Z{{n}^{2+}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     All the ions are isoelectronic but they have different size due ot different values of Z. In \[N{{a}^{+}},{{O}^{2-}},{{N}^{3-}},{{F}^{-}},\]number of electrons are 10 but, \[r\propto \frac{1}{Z}\]. Thus greater the value of\[\frac{e}{Z}\]greater the size of iso-electronic species. Hence\[{{N}^{3-}}\]is largest in size.
