In which one of the following pairs the radius of the second species is greater than that of first ?A. `Ti^(4+),Mn^(7+)`B. `Na, Mg`C. `Cl^(-),K^(+)`D. `P^(5+),P^(3+)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
As oxidation state increases, the radius of the species decreases on account of higher proton to electron ratio.
`P^(5+),"no. of proton"=15,"no. of electrons"=10=15//10`
`P^(3+),"no. of proton" =15,"no. of electrons"=12=15//12`
