The ionic radii of Group 12 metals Zn, Cd and Hg are smaller than those of Group 2 metals becouse Zn, Cd and Hg have

Answer»

10D -electrons which shield the nuclear charge poorly
10d-electrons which shield the nuclear charge strongly
10d-electrons which have a large radius ratio
10ltf-electrons which have a large exchange energy

Solution :`Zn, CD and Hg` have SMALLER ionic ionic RADII than group - 2 elements because former involve 10 d - electrons which have poor shielding effect so that electrons are more strongly attracted towards NUCLEUS.
