Q. In group 1 , values of the metallic radii follow the order :

A
K > Rb > Cs
B
Li > Na > K
C
Na < K < Rb
D
Cs < K < Li
Solution:
  • Metallic radius is defined as one – half of the distance between the nuclei of two atoms in crystal or between two adjacent metal ions in the metallic lattice .

  • Metallic radii decreases across the period due to an increase in the effective nuclear charge .

  • Metallic radii increases down the group due to increase in principal quantum number .
