1.

convalent and ionic (in a particular state )radii increase in size down that group. Only a small increase in covalent radius is observed as one moves fromA. `N` to`P`B. `P` to`As`C. `As` to`Sb`D. `Sb` to`Bi`

Answer» Correct Answer - 4
There is a considerable increase in covalent radius from `N`to `P` (`70` pm to `110`pm).However ,from `Sb`to `Bi`only a small increase in covalent radius is observed (`141`pm to `148`pm.) This is due to the presence of completely filled `d` and `f` subshells in `Bi`
