Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion and the other is labelled as Reason.

Assertion: The ionic radii of O2- and Mg2+ are same.

Reason: Both O2- and Mg2+ are isoelectronic species.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Both Mg2+ and O-2 have 10 electrons each and they are isoelectronic species.

But the size of O-2 is greater than Mg2+ as size1ze

ze of Mg2+=1210=1.2

ze of O-2=810=0.8

ze=Number of protonsNumber of electrons
