Question

The transition metal ion with the least ionic radius (in pm) is

• A. \(Sc^{3+}\)
• B. \(Ti^{3+}\)
• C. \(V^{3+}\)
• D. \(Cr^{3+}\)
• E. \(Mn^{3+}\)

Hint:

For same oxidation state, ionic radius decreases across the period due to increasing nuclear charge.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D
