Question

Given below are two statements : Statement I : The metallic radius of $Na$ is $1.86 A^{\circ}$ and the ionic radius of $Na^{+}$ is lesser than $1.86 A^{\circ}$ . Statement II : Ions are always smaller in size than the corresponding elements. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Options:

Answer:

D

Solution:

$r_{Na} > r_{Na^{+}}$
So, Statement (I) is correct but size of anions are greater than size of neutral atoms. So statement (II) is incorrect.
