NEET2023Chemistry
Q.
The element expected to form largest ion to achieve the nearest noble gas configuration is:
- A
F
- B
N
- C
Na
- D
O
Solution
To reach the Ne configuration, each species gains/loses electrons: , , , .
All four ions are isoelectronic ( electrons), so size is governed by — lower nuclear charge gives a larger ion.
Order of nuclear charge: .
So is the largest.
