Answer:
a) Se²⁻> S²⁻ > O²
b) Te²⁻ > I- >Cs+
c) Cs+ > Ba²⁺ > Sr²⁺
Explanation:
(a) Se²⁻, S²⁻, O²⁻
In general, ionic radius decreases with increasing positive charge.
As the charge on the ion becomes more positive, there are fewer electrons.
The ion has a smaller radius. In general, ionic radius increases with increasing negative charge.
For ions of the same charge (e.g. in the same group) the size increases as we go down a group in the periodic table
Se²⁻> S²⁻ > O²
(b) Te²⁻, Cs⁺, I⁻
Te²⁻ > I- >Cs+
Te2- hast the biggest size, because of the double negative charge.
Cs+ has the smallest size since it has the most positive charge, compared to Te2- and I-.
(c) Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺, Cs⁺
Cs+ > Ba²⁺ > Sr²⁺
Cs+ has the biggest size, because its more downward (compared to Sr2+) and more to the left (compared) ot Ba2+.
Sr2+ has the smallest size because it's more upwords (compared to Cs+ and Ba2+)
