Trends in the sizes of ions (ionic radii) Q1. What is the trend as we go down a group? Q2. How can we explain the trend?
2
Q3. How would the atomic radius compare with the ionic radius for a CATION and its’ parent atom? E.g. Na + ionic radius and the Na atomic radius Q4. How would the atomic radius compare with the ionic radius for an ANION and its’ parent atom? E.g. Br- ionic radius and the Br atomic radius Data on next slide.
4
Q5. What trend would you expect in ionic radii across a period? Eg. Period 3 Na Ar Use the extract from the Edexcel Data Booklet to find the ionic radii of the elements in Period 3: Ion: Na + Mg 2+ Al 3+ Si 4+ P 3- S 2- Cl -1 Radius: (nm)

7
How can we explain this trend?
8
Comparing ionic radii of isoelectronic ions E.g. Al 3+ andN 3- Both have the electron configuration: 1S 2 2S 2 2P 6 Which would be the largest ion? Why?
10
Use the data booklet extract to find the ionic radii of three more isoelectronic ions. Explain the trend in the ionic radii of the ions you choose. Afl
