(a)
Interpretation:
The explanation for the order of atomic radii in the order
Concept introduction:
Atomic radius: Atomic radius is the distance between the atomic nucleus and outermost electron of an atom. From the atomic radius, the size of atoms can be visualized. But there is no specific distance from nucleus to electron due to electron cloud around the atom does not have well-defined boundary.
The atomic radius follows general trend in periodic table that it gets decreases as we move from left to right and increases from top to bottom of the table.
Effective nuclear charge: It is the charge experienced by the valence electrons from the nucleus. Effective nuclear charge increases across a period because increasing nuclear charge with no accompanying increase in shielding effect.

- How would you account for the following :(i) Among lanthanoids, Ln (III) compounds are predominant. However, occasionally in solutions or in solid compounds, + 2 and + 4 ions are also obtained.(ii) The E°M2+/M for copper is positive (0.34 V).Copper is the only metal in the first series of transition elements showing this behaviour.(iii) The metallic radii of the third (5d) series of transition metals are nearly the same as those of the corresponding members of the second series.arrow_forwardHow would you account for the following: (i) Among lanthanoids, Ln(III) compounds are predominant.
