The correct order of the ionic radii of O2- , N3- , F- , Mg2+ , Na+ and
Al3+ is:
JEE MAIN 2020 - 5th Sep

1 Al3+ < Mg2+ < Na+ < F- < O2- < N3-
2 Al3+ < Na+ < Mg2+ < O2- < F- < N3-
For isoelectronic species, as the
no. of protons increases,size of
ions decreases. Thus order (1) is
correct.

3 N3- < F- < O2- < Mg2+ < Na+ < Al3+

4 N3- < O2- < F- <Na+ < Mg2+ < Al3+

In the following compound, the favourable site/s for protonation
is/are JEE MAIN 2021 -16th Mar

All sites (a, b, c, d, e) of the given

1 (a) and (e) molecule have lone pair on N. Higher the ease of
donation of lp of e- of N, more favourable will be
the site for protonation. Ease of donation of lp of
e- i.e. inversely depend on the percentage of s-
2 (b), (c) and (d)
character.
At ‘a’ and ‘e’, N-atoms are sp3 (s%= 25)
hybridised, whereas at ‘ b’, ‘c’ and ‘d’, N-atoms
3 (a) and (d) are sp2 (s% = 33) hybridised. So, ‘b’, ‘c’ and ‘d’
are the favourable sites for protonation (H+ is a
Lewis acid, i.e. electrons acceptor).
