Question -

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 -

The size of an isoelectronic speciesincreases with a decrease in the nuclear charge (Z). For example, the order of theincreasing 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 Nais as follows:

Na+ < Ne < F
