Answer:
Option (d) is correct
N³⁻ > F⁻ > Mg²⁺ > Si⁴⁺
Explanation:
Total electrons for all the species = 10
So these are <u>iso electronic</u> with each other.
We know
Ionic radii ∝ 
- Si⁴⁺ has 14 protons and 10 electrons
- Mg²⁺ has 12 protons and 10 electrons
- N³⁻ has 7 protons and 10 electrons
- F⁻ has 9 protons and 10 electrons
- Iso electronic species with greatest number of protons have small size and vice versa.
- So Si⁺⁴ have smallest size and N³⁻ have largest in size
KI-starch paper allows the detection of strong oxidizers such as nitrite. It is used here to control diazotization of 4-nitroaniline. Nitrite oxidizes potassium iodide in order to form elemental iodine which reacts with starch to a blue-violet complex. With KI-starch paper, enough sodium nitrite is added to produce nitrous acid, which <span>then will react with 4-nitroaniline to form a diazonium salt.</span>
Remember that a cation will be smaller than its neutral atom, and an anion will be larger than its neutral atom. This would automatically eliminate answer choices A and D.
Also keep in mind that atomic radii decreases from left to right as you move along a periodic table. It also decreases from bottom up.
Atomic radii increases as you move from right to left and as you go from up to down.
As bromine is higher up in the periodic table than Iodine, it would have a smaller radius. Iodine would have a larger radius.
The correct answer is B. Br
