Question
Chemistry Question on Classification of elements & periodicity in properties
Atomic radius (pm) of Al, Si, N and F respectively is
A
117, 143, 64, 74
B
143, 117, 74, 64
C
143, 47, 64, 74
D
64, 74, 117, 143
Answer
143, 117, 74, 64
Explanation
Solution
Al, Si belong to 3rd period of periodic table while N, and fluorine to second period. The size of element decreases from left to right in a period hence the order of size is
Al>Si>N>F
