Explanation:

mg2+ would be the smaller ion this is because each ion has the same number of electrons however mg2+ has a greater number of protons and therefore is more charge dense and the outer electrons feel a greater pull from the nucleus.

b. $NaN$ $O_{2}$ > c. $H_{2} O$ > a.NaCl

<h3>What is absorption frequency?</h3>

The frequency of the molecular vibration that led to the absorption is the same as the absorption frequency of a basic IR absorption band.

In a way, an emission spectrum is the opposite of an absorption spectrum.
The discrepancies in the energy levels of each chemical element's orbitals correspond to absorption lines for each chemical element at various particular wavelengths.
Therefore, it is possible to identify the constituents in a gas or liquid using its absorption spectrum.
Absorption spectroscopy is most frequently used to measure infrared, atomic, visible, ultraviolet (UV), and x-ray waves.
